African Art (World of Art)

African Art (World of Art)

"An indispensable part of the history of the skills and ideas of mankind."â‚¬â€¢Scientific American.
The art of the Fang, the BaTeke, the BaKota, and other African peoples is extraordinarily vigorous and shows a brilliant sense of form. The substantial aesthetic impact that their works have had on the development of twentieth-century Western artâ‚¬â€¢on Picasso, Derain, Braque, and Modigliani, among othersâ‚¬â€¢continues to this day. This classic study reveals the astonishing variety and expressive power of the art of a continent that contains more distinct peoples and cultures than any other. The revised edition has been updated throughout, incorporating recent research and additional illustrations, plus a new chapter and extended bibliography. It remains an invaluable resource for students and for anyone interested in African art. 291 illustrations, 88 in color
