Author Information

Truus Daalder grew up in the Dutch village of Bergen, which is known for the achievements of its painters. Already as a child she developed a keen interest in artistic works and a passion for gaining an understanding of them. In 1966 she and her husband Joost, who fully shared her devotion to the visual arts, went to live in New Zealand, where the couple soon became serious collectors. Their experiences prompted Truus to write the bestseller Hunting Antiques in New Zealand, which was enthusiastically acclaimed. After moving to Adelaide, Australia, in 1976, the Daalders increasingly found themselves fascinated by objects from non-European cultures, especially in the area of jewellery and adornment. Their enthusiasm and persistence led them to acquire an exceptionally impressive collection in this field. Truus's determined effort to learn as much as she could about the objects shown in this volume - including those from the South Australian Museum - has extended over many years, and has culminated in the writing of this book. Truus can be contacted through www. ethnicartpress.com.au Jeremy Daalder, the son of Truus and Joost Daalder, is a photographer and printmaker living in Melbourne, Australia. Jeremy runs Image Science, a business specialising in education, products, and services for fine art image makers.
