The seminal volume on body painting and adornment by the world's
preeminent photographers of African culture. Following the
international masterpiece Africa Adorned, Carol Beckwith and Angela
Fisher have focused on the traditions of body painting spanning the
vastly unique cultures of the African continent. In a contemporary
world so fascinated with tattoos and piercings, Beckwith and Fisher
document the origins of these fashionable adornments as passed down
through African tribal culture.Featured are portraits of the richly
colored, detailed, and exquisite body paintings of the Surma, Karo,
Maasai, Himba, and Hamar peoples, among others. Drawing from
expeditions in the field and firsthand experiences with African
peoples and cultures over the past thirty years and with more than
250 spectacular photographs, this is the definitive work on the
expressiveness and imagination of African cultural painting of the
human body.
