Description from the seller
NO RESERVE PRICE
Shipping costs are calculated for a shipment via Mondial Relay, with delivery to a Mondial Relay pickup point. At the end of the transaction, you will be asked to provide a Mondial Relay pickup point. Thank you for your understanding.
From wood carving, stone or cast metal, masks, drums, decorative painting on the walls of houses made of sun-dried mud, but also watercolors and oil or gouache paintings: African art is all of this at once, high symbols of a cultural wealth whose importance is hard to measure; hence the book title by Christiane Falgayrettes-Leveau seems particularly appropriate. Far from merely helping us grasp this primitive art, the director of the Dapper Museum invites us on a journey of a thousand discoveries, as surprising as they are diverse. Living in an era strictly magical, man would have developed primitive art to seduce his mythical ancestor or to exert influence over the surrounding spirit world, faithful to the African belief that life and everything that exists in the universe come from the mysterious, elusive work of a supreme being. The quality of this work stems, of course, from the author’s authority on the subject, but also from the value of the iconography carefully gathered. --Pierre Guillaume
