Lee "This worthy attempt on the part of Cuttington University College to proudce a catalog giving some insight into the rich heritage of our LIberian culture as reflected through our art, fills an important vacuum in our national life and speaks eloquently of our cultural roots, maturity and peculiarity. Indeed it mirrors the genesis of our personality and traditions as a people which, to a large measure, have molded the contours of our national philosophy and given a particular characgter to our aspirations. It is my hope that all who read this catalog will find some indication of our rich adn glorious history of which all Liberians are justifiably proud." - from The Executive Mansion Office of the President, Monrovia, LIberia, W.

Hardcover. Condition: New. This magnificent volume showcases thehighlights from a world-renowned collection of African textiles, ceramics, jewelry, masks, and figures from more than fifty different cultures.The Brooklyn Museum was one of the first North American institutions to collect and exhibit African material culture as art rather than artifact. Today the museum's collection numbers more than six thousand pieces and is noted for its artistic quality and educational value, as well as a breadth and depth that would be impossible to achieve today. Major works from all areas of sub-Saharan Africa are included in the collection's vast holdings, while the figurative sculpture and masks of Central Africa constitute its most significant focus. More than 130 of those pieces are featured in this large-format compendium, which includes essays by the museum's emeritus curator of African art and a leading scholar on the subject. Taking readers through a cultural exploration of the continent, the collection encompasses regions from Western Sudan and the southwestern Congo to the Equatorial Forest and southern Africa. Carefully photographed and presented in luminous color, these pieces create a stunning introduction to the rich traditions of African art and culture.…
