This beautifully illustrated book showcases 110 objects from the
Dallas Museum of Art's world-renowned African collection. In
contrast to Western "art for art's sake," tradition-based African
art served as an agent of religion, social stability, or social
control. Chosen both for their visual appeal and their compelling
histories and cultural significance, the works of art are presented
under the themes of leadership and status; the cycle of life;
decorative arts; and influences (imported and exported). Also
included are many fascinating photographs that show the context in
which these objects were originally used. Distributed for the
Dallas Museum of Art
