hardcover with dust jacket 160 pages In this definitive study Denise Paulme explores African sculpture as a whole, relating religious and enthographic factors to the aesthetic values of the work of art, thus adding to our complete understanding of the form. The first section deals with the often highly advanced technique of the African scultpor; but the major portion is devoted to a comprehensive survey of the African regions, including the life and customs of their peoples. Thirty plates (some in colour), plus drawings in text. Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stamps, stickers, etc. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket.
