Zusammenfassung:The Encyclopedia of African Art and Culture is a reference book documenting hundreds of ethnic groups, their works of art and cultural forms of expression as well as featuring African artists, scholars and museums of African art in the United States and Europe. It is an extensive piece of work that provides a survey of the arts of Africa, south of the Sahara, arts which probably only could have developed as such through centuries of isolation from any Mediterranean influence. In a time when traditional African art as a representation of religious cult and cultic identity is slowly fading away, it seems more than necessary to give evidence of and justice to some of the great traditions and lifestyles of mankind. Over 900 entries describing ethnic groups within their own culturally defined regions, richly illustrated with over 1,500 pictures, most of which are in full color. In addition an exclusive view into private collections, that are fully represented in their own right and have been examined in detail. This unique encyclopedia is the first of its kind to be published in the English language."--Publisher's description.
