AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Eberhard Fischer: Dan Artists.
The Sculptors Tame, Si, Tompieme and Son
Their personalities and work.

Hardcover 2014, approximately 24 x 30 cm, 144 pages, with DVD.
English translation of the German original edition.

Eberhard Fischer documented in 1960 the craftsmanship of four Dan carvers and their biographies in the hinterland of Liberia, as well as the appearance of the masks at the respective occasions.
In 1963, the text appeared in an ethnological scholarly publication in German. Since mask carving usually takes place in secret and the artists remain anonymous, the four biographies and numerous photographs are, in a way, unique.

The English version has been expanded with additional illustrations and a postscript.
The DVD contains film footage of Schnitzer at work.

Shipping only within Europe.
