Reseña del editor:
Assouline began with an idea and a belief: the first, a notion that beauty, perfected, has meaning that is capable of transforming our lives; and the second, that a book?artfully crafted and highly considered in its visual content?can open our eyes and minds. With our first book, La Colombe d’Or, we sought to convey the experience of a small hotel in the south of France, a tiny, sublime world of art, history, luxury, and inspiration unto itself. Over time, that world has been expanded to create a universe that is anchored by our books but no longer limited to paper and pages.

Summary: African Forms: Art And Rituals illuminates an aspect of African art that has largely been neglected by other books. African sculptures and art are difficult to decipher because they are more than tokens of "art for art's sake. " African art is based on religious and philosophical values. It is created not just for the patron but for the entire community, using a language of form for the society to understand what can't otherwise be put into words. Through an enlightening analysis of some of the continent's most emblematic artifacts, this book decodes African art by putting it in the context of the broader culture. It is thematically organized around key motifs to help you fully understand African art. With insightful text and stunning color photographs, African Forms: Art And Rituals is essential for art collectors and for all lovers of African art and culture. 2 Kg.
