Forge, Anthony
British anthropologist educated at Cambridge University and the London School of Economics. In 1958, Forge began the first of two field studies in the Sepik region of Papua New Guinea, during which time he narrowed his interests to the social organization, aesthetics, and ritual of the Abelam people. His second field study, conducted during 1962-1963, focused on the art of the Abelam and their region. Forge is the co-author of Families and their relatives (1970) and editor of Primitive art and society (1973).
