Krátky popis
A concise, accessible and up-to-date overview of the arts of Africa
from prehistoric times to the present day. This indispensable
introductory guide explores the art of the African continent from
its early origins over 150,000 years ago to the contemporary, set
in the context of post-colonial debates, the restitution of
cultural objects and artefacts, and the challenges of the present.
This enormous and complex field of study, once under-appreciated by
the Western art world, is now of global importance and an essential
subject of education in art history.For ease of reference and
analysis, this indispensable guide is structured chronologically
into manageable and meaningful chapters covering ancient art, the
Middle Ages, travel and trade, encounters with Europe in the age of
exploration, the colonial era, the rebuilding of the continent in
recent times, and contemporary art. It addresses core,
continent-wide themes in African visual and cultural expression,
from the life-cycle (motherhood, children, initiation, religion) to
the body and representations of power dynamics. Important regional
artistic expressions are also explored, such as the cultures of
Mali (the Western Sudan), Nigeria (the lower Niger and Benue area),
the Congo Basin and various nomadic populations across the
continent.Written from an inclusive modern perspective, focusing
not only on royal traditions but also the broader global history of
the continent and its artistic practices, this is an excellent
introduction for students, museum visitors and anyone with an
interest in fine art, African history and cultural studies.
