Paperback. Condition: New. African Dream Machines takes African headrests out of the category of functional objects and into the more rarefied category of 'art' objects. Styles in African headrests are usually defined in terms of western art and archaeological discourses, but this book interrogates these definitions of style and demonstrates the shortcomings of defining a single formal style model as exclusive to a single ethnic group. Among the artefacts made by southern African peoples, headrests were the best known. Anitra Nettleton's study of the uses and forms of headrests opened up a number of art-historical methodologies in the attempt to gain an understanding of form, style and content in African art objects. Her drawings of each and every headrest encountered become a major part of the project.

Dustwrapper sunned on spine panel and a little foxed to reverse, with small archival tape repair to reverse of lower panel's top edge; light foxing to edges; bottom edges of boards a little shelf-rubbed. Very good condition. "This is the first comprehensive book to cover many important aspects of black South African art, from the traditional to Township Art. It is dedicated by the authors to all artists of Africa, past and present, who have sought to express the significance of things in objects of great beauty. Completely up to date, it contains sections on San Rock Art, Venda Court Art, Ndzundza Wall Decorations in the Transvaal, Images of Township Art, Street Art in the Townships and the Polly Street Art Centre. As the work of black artists is sought by collectors here and overseas, more people become aware of symbols and themes used; serious students add constantly to the sum of this knowledge. The future will bring an even greater depth of insight into the evolution of the African artistic tradition to which this book will have contributed.".

Hardback. Condition: New. A lavishly illustrated selection of highlights from the Art Institute of Chicago's extraordinary collection of the arts of Africa Featuring a selection of more than 75 works of traditional African art in the Art Institute of Chicago's collection, this stunning volume includes objects in a wide variety of media from regions across the continent. Essays and catalogue entries by leading art historians and anthropologists attend closely to the meanings and materials of the works themselves in addition to fleshing out original contexts. These experts also underscore the ways in which provenance and collection history are important to understanding how we view such objects today. Celebrating the Art Institute's collection of traditional African art as one of the oldest and most diverse in the United States, this is a fresh and engaging look at current research into the arts of Africa as well as the potential of future scholarship.Distributed for the Art Institute of Chicago.
