Editorial Reviews: Product Description As the birthplace of the human race, Africa possesses a cultural history of unparalleled length. This magnificent publication reflects that vast time span: the objects included range from the oldest known human artifact (1.6 million BC) to pieces made within living memory. In word and image the book celebrates the extraordinary variety of African art and the consummate skill of its creators.

Customer Reviews: african art February 10, 2008 I like what I got and the price was much better than the price for the same book at the school bookstore. good deal. Final Grade: 81% March 19, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful a fair collection of colour and black and white photos of African art from all over the continent. Of all the areas, East Africa (excluding the Horn of Africa) is given the least attention. I think they could have also expanded on Ethiopian art. Another problem is the lack of showing contemporary African art (it assumes that new Euro-influenced art is no longer African. This is of course ridiculous since contemporary Euro art since the late 19th century has been heavily African influence, yet remains European art) Also, the book does not include African architectural art. Though I only gave it a B-minus, if there was a sliding scale I'd have to give it an A-minus due to the lack of good art books regarding Africa. The Art of a Continent March 10, 2006 4 out of 5 found this review helpful Very informmative text, very easy to read, and understand. With pictures, and text that visually and verbably discribe in detail each object listed. Great number of art objects not available to view without the photographs in this book I am 100% satisfied with this book and will use it as a reference, on an ongoing basis. A must for the collector of African Art. African Art, a true collectors edition. October 9, 1998 36 out of 38 found this review helpful One of the most complete general works on African Art and well worth purchasing for detailed information on the variation in art form, tribe, country and art style in Africa. Almost full tribal location information and regionalised art details makes this book a must for the serious collector and student on the subject. From early Egyptian to more recent times, it is a book you have to read several times to understand that no one can ever know the true depth and complexity within the African Art world. A good all round reference book on a much missunderstood and underated art form. Mark Farley
