The extraordinary works presented exemplify the craftsmanship of highly skilled African weavers and provide insight into the lives and culture of various ethnic groups. Whether the materials used are wool, cotton, silk, raffia, or bark, the patterns the weavers produce are predominantly geometric and abstract, but highly stylized figurative motifs are also found. The designs frequently illustrate excerpts from historical or mythical stories. The book presents a breathtaking variety of costumes, textiles, and accessories used for everyday wear and for special celebrations, and explores the different techniques, influences, and meanings behind these colorful works of art. The essays describe the history of the development of these techniques and the richness of the symbolism in this form of cultural heritage. The superb photography showcases the splendor of these intricate and exquisite textiles. / Anne-Marie Bouttiaux is chief curator of the Ethnography Department at the of the Royal Museum of Central Africa in Tervuren, Belgium. She is the editor of the Visions of Africa series published by 5 Continents. John Mack, the former director of the Museum of Mankind and head of the Ethnographic Department at the British Museum in London, has since written extensively on African art and on art as a world-wide phenomenon.

Rilegato. Condition: new. Traduzione di Filippone L. e Raucci L. Milano, 2008; ril., pp. 318, ill., cm 24x30. Il libro presenta una notevole raccolta di costumi, tessuti e accessori usati per il vestiario quotidiano e per le cerimonie rituali, provenienti dalle diverse regioni dell'Africa. I saggi e le fotografie permettono di svelarne tutte le particolarità descrivendo la storia delle tecniche e del simbolismo di questa vera e propria forma di eredità culturale. I motivi figurativi stilizzati, che illustrano episodi storici o mitologici, e i disegni geometrici e astratti sono influenzati, infatti, dai significati più reconditi che l'artigiano ha voluto rappresentare. La scelta stessa del materiale utilizzato, come lana, cotone, rafia o corteccia, è una parte importante nel lavoro di creazione di queste coloratissime opere d'arte. Libro.…
