DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis work displays and defines the fruits of thousands of years of black African creative endeavour. All the objects included were made by Africans for their own use, spanning a period from the beginning of the first millennium to the early 20th century, before the commercial production of art aimed at the tourist trade.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTalk About Tribal Art presents the broad range of art from diverse cultures around the world via illustrations and concise texts. Bérénice Schneiter takes us through the history, geography, and techniques of tribal art, from prehistoric cave paintings to aboriginal body art via the Klein-blue-before-Klein statues of the Solomon Islands and the abstract feather art-work of pre-Colombian pre-abstract communities. What is tribal art, what does it look like, when did it start? The author refutes common preconceptions and outdated myths, demonstrating that tribal art comprises far more than masks, erotic figures, and sacred totems. The text is richly illustrated, providing a deeper understanding of art forms such as animal art, portraits, design, and graphics. Moving beyond the purely historical, the book also demonstrates the innovation, lasting impact, and current trends of this art form in a section devoted to artists and artistic movements that have been inspired by tribal art. A chapter of key dates allows the reader to situate the historic moments that have contributed to our understanding of tribal art: from travel writing to great expeditions via ethnological quests and important exhibitions. One chapter is devoted to the artists, writers, poets, dealers, and collectors who informed our modern perception of tribal art. A glossary of terms clarifies the jargon that charts the evolution in the discovery of these artifacts, as well as changes in styles and tastes. The volume is completed by a list of the thirty most important works of tribal art from around the world and a directory of international addresses where tribal art can be viewed.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPresenting more than 200 stunning works from Africa, Oceania, the Americas, and Southeast Asia, some published here for the first time, this book explores how Western artists and collectors first came to appreciate art from these previously unknown cultures in the early 20th century. At a time of unprecedented turmoil and upheaval in the art world, artists like Picasso, Man Ray, and others were exposed to African and other art for the first time and became seduced by its power and extraordinary expressiveness. This book explores the role this art has played in the history of modern and contemporary art and looks at the way beauty was perceived through the eye of explorers, ethnographers, artists, collectors, and dealers, who fell in love with what was then called "primitive" art.
