Abstract
In an unpublished manuscript, written in Dutch in 1920, the prominent Dutch ethnologist J.P.B. de Josselin de Jong offered a survey of theories on the origins of art and ornamentation. The beginning and conclusion of the essay consist of a polemic against the (Dutch) Society of Friends of Asiatic Art and the idea that ethnographic art can be sufficiently understood from an aesthetic point of view.
