Who wiped out most traditional Oceanic art?

Most traditional Oceanic art was significantly impacted by European colonization in the 18th and 19th centuries. Missionaries and colonial authorities often viewed indigenous practices and artworks as pagan or idolatrous, leading to the destruction of many artifacts. Additionally, the introduction of new cultural values and materials contributed to the decline of traditional art forms. As a result, much of the original Oceanic art was lost or transformed under colonial influence.
