Summary

The pages of this volume reflect an explosion of African art that goes beyond ethnic or regional lines, and presents contemporary African art as it has never before been seen. The book moves from those artists most closely aligned with ancestral, tribal forms to those for whom the ties to tradition have been loosened considerably. Illustrations, 192 in full color.
