Pub Year 1985, See images for condition. About the book >.>.> The Art of Black Africa is a comprehensive survey of the long-standing artistic traditions of Africa, authored by Elsy Leuzinger, an archeologist and professor of art history and prehistory at the University of Zurich. This book explores how African art is deeply intertwined with religious beliefs and practices, highlighting the unique ways in which African cultures approach the representation of the human figure.Dr. Leuzinger emphasizes that, unlike the ancient Greeks or Arabs, African cultures viewed the portrayal of human features as a means of connecting with the supernatural and dispelling evil spirits. The artistic expressions created for African chieftains and kings?such as effigies of ancestors, ceremonial masks, and political thrones?were not merely decorative; they served as powerful symbols that could invoke divine protection and confer magical powers upon their owners. This articulation of art as both a visual and spiritual act reflects its significance within African societies.Accompanying the text are more than 200 carefully photographed art objects, each illustrating the sophistication and complexity of African art, which challenges any notion of it being primitive. This artistic tradition experienced a renaissance that predates its rediscovery by the Western world in the 1870s, influencing renowned artists like Picasso and Giacometti. The enduring vitality of this art form, despite the challenges posed by modern industrial civilization, underscores its resilience and cultural importance. (MP).

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First English Edition. 144 pages plus approximately 200 pages of sumptuous color and black and white photos, a glossary of decorative motifs on cloisonne, and a bibliography. "For the connoisseur and collector interested in Chinese cloisonne, a comprehensive pictorial documentation including detailed reproductions of all marks, even doubtful or misleading ones, seemed to us more sensible and useful than any other alternative. For this reason captions were kept as brief a spossible, and detailed discussion and assessment of major and key pieces were relegated to the introductory chapters, for which a historial approach was adopted. We have endeavored to propose dates as cautionsly as possible, taking into account our close scrutiny and all available information." - Author's Preface.
