Masks of Black Africa
Category : AFRICA
Author : Ladislas Segy
ISBN : 048623181X
|
|
Description : Since I deal with masks from Africa I am constantly looking for more information on the subject. I have again and again come back to Ladislas Segy MASKS OF BLACK AFRICA. The illustrations are representative of the many different masks used by African tribes. The text and maps help you further to deepen your understanding of the masks that are representative of the area. When I do research on African Masks my first step is Ladislas Segy.

Art from Africa : Long Steps Never Broke a Back
Category : AFRICA
Author : Pamela McClusky, Robert Farris Thompson, Seattle Art Museum
ISBN : 0691092958
|
|
Description : From the Inside Flap
"This innovative work allows the objects it covers to breathe as living things. McClusky has evolved what appears to be a new way of writing a catalogue on African art. The writing is interesting, the stories surrounding the objects often fascinating. Thompson's essay is wonderfully composed. This is a work that can be enjoyed by the non-specialist reader for the tales it tells alone. Further, the objects are impressive, often spectacular." (Simon Ottenberg, University of Washington)

My brief review of Susan Vogel's African Art Western Eyes will be as if I were writing a letter to Susan Vogel herself. Dear Susan Vogel, I could not fly East to see the exhibit of Baule art from the Ivory Coast, but the accompanying book is almost as vivid as attending the exhibit. Even though African Art Western Eyes is about the Baule, it could be a primer for how art is used, how it works in ethnographic societies world wide. The main thing that impressed me was your compassion, your natural humanity at work in your investigation of Baule art. There are none of the "politically correct" words I often read in books about ethnographic art, but instead a more humble, more respectful, more willingness to discover attitude that allows the reader to experience his or her humanity in the process. Thank you
