About the Author Mytinger is an artist and amateur anthropologist.Mytinger is an artist and amateur anthropologist.
Carolyn Mytiner, an artist and amateur anthropologist, set off in the late 1930s with her friend to paint indigenous people in the Solomon Islands.Mytinger tells us about life on the plantations, and life in native villages. One finds themselves trying desperately to find the answer and share it with the Dr. During a recent visit to C&M Gallery in NY for a show of eight Rothko's, alone in the second room, I heard them. They had the lofty goal of painting "the portrait of a race of primitive negroids living in the Southwest Pacific." Of the two young women, Mytinger was the painter, and her friend Margaret was her faithful companion and assistant. Later in that same year, Syd was in another party of five and was able to secure more “fixes” in the icy wilderness of the Southern Prince Charles Mountains. Despite the odds, which spared them no end of adventures, from capsizing, to fistfights, to malaria, they survived the journey and made it back home with a story to tell.The book is somewhat of a period piece, in that the author comes across as living her life through whimsy in a feminine sort of way-but at the same time, she is also a feminist, proud of the fact that she is traveling together with her friend in wild places that many men from back home would deem too dangerous to visit. A man?
