THE ART OF AFRICA

140pp. B/W ethnographic illustrations throughout. Hardcover with pictorial cloth boards, complete with the original dust jacket. The underlying cloth binding remains firm and stable. Shows slight age-browning to the fep, but the internal text block and illustrations are completely bright, and free of markings.

A foundational ethnographic art text documenting indigenous South African arts, crafts, and material culture. The prominent co-authorship of celebrated South African abstract pioneer Walter Battiss gives this volume significant crossover appeal into the fine art collection market.
