Sumario:During the interwar period, a new appreciation of what were then called “primitive” arts took hold, stimulated by the spread of anthropological studies. Artistic publications were opened to scientists and to treatments of those productions from a purely ethnographic point of view, oblivious to aesthetic evaluations. This occurred with partic-ular intensity in the French milieu. Concentrating on French publications, this paper deals mainly with scientific collaborations in modern art magazines, and how these approaches and the new anthropological contextualizations permeated art criticism and the artistic work itself, to the extent that a kind of “ethnographic turn” can be identified. Focused on period documents, in many cases rarely noticed, the article aims to provide a significant and conceptually complete account—attentive to different artistic sensibilities—of the way this turn manifested itself throughout the period dealt with.
