A gem for lovers of African art
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I found this book in Kampala, Uganda at the start of a binge of collecting Congolese artifacts and fell in love at first sight. The pictures are vibrant (if not always well-labeled) and the text tries to explain the significance of the art in the African context, rather than serve to merely catalogue the tribe, the owner, etc. It certainly helped me to love it that much of what people offered to me for sale was discussed and/or pictured in the book. It goes arm-in-arm with it's companion "Black Africa : Masks Sculpture Jewelry"
