Bemerkungen

Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - From the intricate and precious jewels of ancient Egypt to the stark simplicity of a worn ivory bracelet; from the complex multi-coloured silk designs of Asante kente cloths to the black and white mudcloth bogolan of Mali, African style has intrigued and enthralled the world. Earlier this century great innovative artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Paul Klee drew new forms and devised vibrant colour combinations from the arts of Africa. Today fashion designers as diverse as Donna Karan and John Galliano have looked to Africa for inspiration. Decorating and adorning the human body is a vital component of the visual arts in Africa that continues to display extraordinary vitality in the face of far-reaching social change. Most of this book is concerned with the artefacts created in these processes-jewellery, beads, hats, cloths, and masks-and the part they play in adornment, as symbols of status and wealth, in ceremonial and everyday life, and in masquerades.
