Description
Secrecy African Art That Conceals &Reveals:A stunning collection of essays and photos of artwork, published by the Museum for African Art, 593 Broadway, New York, NY 10012, in conjunction with an exhibition organized and presented by the Museum. New interest has been ignited in looking at African art for its ideas for the visual expression of “solutions that African civilizations have invented to problems that still vex us problems of the environment, of healing, of social and spiritual strength and cohesion these African ideas now attract and surprise with the power that African sculptural forms did in the early century…” (from the introductory essay). The theme of secrecy is profound and far reaching. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
