AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Three former titles by the prolific ethnologist B. Holas (1909-1979). He worked for most of his life at the Institut Français d'Afrique Noire (IFAN) in Ivory Coast.
He published numerous reference works during his career, and a retrospective of his life was exhibited at the Musée Branly in Paris.
These three small books published in 1969 and 1978 in Abidjan make them rare titles and true black-and-white documents on African Art as perceived at the time, with photos of objects different from what is usually seen, but also explanations and comments on the customs and practices of Ivorian arts, and more particularly Senoufo.
1 / Senoufo Sculptures: 61 plates for about 100 pages, 24 cm by 17 cm
2 / Ivorian Masks: 50 plates for 120 pages, 20 cm by 13 cm
3 / The Sacred Senoufo Art: more than 120 plates for 332 pages, 20 cm by 12 cm
