Answer: A descriptive analysis examining the effect of geography on art
Explanation:
The passage provided is from a book published in the 1980s, and it presents a descriptive analysis of the effect of geography on art. The article doesn´t depict the triumph of local arts over colonialism, but how local art survived through the vestiges of the native pictorial tradition in the maps created by local communities for the colonizers. Although ideas about the ethical issues surrounding colonization can arise from the article, that´s not its main idea. Art history is the theme of the article, but it doesn´t promote it as a field of study. Although the historical developments in indigenous arts are part of the article, it´s not its main topic.
