5.0 out of 5 stars
A different, refreshing perspective,
By
This review is from: See the Music, Hear the Dance: Rethinking African Art at the Baltimore Museum of Art (Hardcover)
I give this book 5 stars because it's clear the author charted his own path here and it makes for an interesting book on African art. There are other books with higher quality photos, slicker paper, that are more "artistic" coffee table material. I love them...not all, but often, if they aren't reprinting the same common photo examples. However,here the author really takes you into the village, introduces you to the tribal members, and you vicariously participate in the dance. It's not only interesting, but it's a record of a way of life that may not be around too much longer. You'll even find out what a heddle pully is and why it's important. You don't get that in the artistic coffee table book!

My mother loves African art and she has spent many hours looking through this book and enjoying the wonderful photographs. Don't make assumptions - she's an 80 year old Jewish Grandma.
