Engelsk bog
Comprehensive book to present the arts of Africa in art-historical terms. The authors treat individual pieces as tangible manifestations of changing beliefs and customs, as products of complex cultural interactions, as expressions of historical and economical realities, and as creations of gifted individuals, and in so doing brilliantly offer up African art on its own terms.
Organized in five major parts, A History of Art in Africa covers every corner of the continent, including Egypt, from prehistory to the present day and includes the art of African diaspora. The Islamic influence and the Christian arts of Ethiopia and Nubia are treated a fully African expressions, as are tourist arts and the fascinating hybrid art that periodically arose from interaction with Europe.
All art forms are given equal consideration: from such familiar categories as sculpture to such quintessentially African forms as masquerades, festivals, and personal and domestic adornment.
The arts of daily life, of royal ceremony, and of state cosmology also receive compelling discussions. Contemporary art forms are explored as part of the living splendors of modern Africa and as ingenious responses is the experience of diaspora. 700 illustrations including archival and contemporary field photographs, explanatory drawings and plans, and individual objects displayed in museums and in use.
