Like so many new entrepreneurs, Jobs is a child of California's Silicon Valley...

The New Hebrides slitgongs and the row of towering, slender Asmat mbis totems, some of them 21 ft. tall, seem to inhabit a world of pure form, primitive Apollonianism heavily inflected by Roger Fry. Even the crust of old blackened blood left by ritual libations on some of the African idols is politely referred to, on the museum's labels, as "sacrificial material...
