| 內容簡介： |
An illustrated study of traditional and figurative art of
Africa that reflects the continent’s rich artistic and cultural
heritage. African Art explores the continent’s marvelous
artistic achievements which share its roots with humanities
origins. Sculpture has historically been the chief means of
artistic expression. The human figure, whether real or symbolic, is
almost the exclusive subject of African art. This vast world of
African sculpture is the result of an evolutionary process, based
on humanity’s rich history and diversity deriving from migrations,
wars, and alliances. During the last century, the African continent
has experienced radical transformations in the fields of social and
political organizations, the economy and religions. Inevitably, new
artistic forms are being established simultaneously with the
globalization process and the creation of works for the art market,
which retain less and less ties with those of the past. African
Art is an exhaustive presentation of the traditional figurative
arts of Africa and concisely explains their distinguishing
historical, formal, symbolic and functional characteristics. A
truly valuable source of inspiration for students, collectors, and
travelers alike, this book is complete with a glossary and
bibliography.
