LA PUISSANCE DU SACRE. L'homme, la nature et l'art en Afrique noire
Brussels: 1993. 185 pages, 126 color and 4 b/w photographs, 45 drawings, 2 double-page color maps, 1 b/w map. Cloth cover. Item #9058
The use of symbolism--and design--in understanding traditional African art and its magic-religious bases are explored in this handsomely illustrated evocative work. The influence of the material environment on the invisible other-world is explored, as is the psychology of West African religions and their influences on traditional art. A poetic text (in French) examines these forces and illustrates them with splendid photographs and drawings.
Price: $165.00
