AFRICAN ART（9788857208695） 下载 pdf 百度网盘 epub 免费 2025 电子版 mobi 在线

An illustrated study of traditional and figurative art of

Africa that reflects the continent’s rich artistic and cultural

heritage. African Art explores the continent’s marvelous

artistic achievements which share its roots with humanities

origins. Sculpture has historically been the chief means of

artistic expression. The human figure, whether real or symbolic, is

almost the exclusive subject of African art. This vast world of

African sculpture is the result of an evolutionary process, based

on humanity’s rich history and diversity deriving from migrations,

wars, and alliances. During the last century, the African continent

has experienced radical transformations in the fields of social and

political organizations, the economy and religions. Inevitably, new

artistic forms are being established simultaneously with the

globalization process and the creation of works for the art market,

which retain less and less ties with those of the past. African

Art is an exhaustive presentation of the traditional figurative

arts of Africa and concisely explains their distinguishing

historical, formal, symbolic and functional characteristics. A

truly valuable source of inspiration for students, collectors, and

travelers alike, this book is complete with a glossary and

bibliography.
