Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. 175 pages : illustrations (chiefly color), color maps ; 24 cm. Summary:Who could think that at the dawn of the 21st century there could live, in the very center of Côte d'Ivoire, three forgotten peoples about whom the West knows almost nothing, the Wan, the Mona and the Koyaka? Who would be able today to attribute any plastic creation to them, when their art is abundant, still very much alive, but never represented in museums (with the exception of a single statuette at the Barbier-Mueller museum)? How to explain it? This is what the present work of an anthropologist (Harvard University) offers here, highlighting the stylistic inventions, keystone of a vast artistic laboratory, fundamental to understanding the other creations of the center of Côte d'Ivoire.
