More than 130 works from the collection assembled by Drs Nicole and
John Dintenfass over fifty years. The Dintenfass Collection serves
as a model and a source of inspiration for new and seasoned
collectors alike. A different slant on collecting which is not
actually just buying from dealers. A lavishly illustrated book that
traces the origin of a collector's interest in African art and
analyses the psychological aspects driving the passions for
collecting. The Nicole and John Dintenfass Collection is well known
and based on aesthetics, and the works have been reproduced in many
publications. They have collected with passion, diligence, depth
and rigor monumental sculptures and wooden miniatures, from most
regions of Africa. Focusing on pieces of the highest artistic
quality, this book shares the collectors' personal point of view
about collecting and offers to readers anecdotes that provide an
additional insight into this world to future and present collectors
in their search for African art. Collecting is a passion that often
leads to intimate inner conversations or to emotional experiences
with the objects themselves. Moreover many collectors share their
unique experience of joy and appreciation with twentieth-century
artists who also collected African art and who generously imparted
advice, suggestions and support in responding to the collectors'
enthusiasm. Thanks to the multiple beautiful and sensitive
photographs of each object, the viewer has a chance to form an
intimate conversation that creates a connection with those African
master carvers that have strongly influenced modern realism, cubism
and expressionism.
