African Artists: From 1882 to Now

This book is long overdue. The visual culture and contemporary artists of Africa by enlarge have gone unnoticed in the west. The images, and short write ups are a teaser for those who find the diversity and strength of these artists, remarkable.

A true labor of love with an ambitions title that will serve generations of scholars and global art lovers for generations to come. Reads like an encyclopedia, and provides wonderful points of departure for further research. While this is a formidable topic to broach, there are some surprising omissions (for example, where is Willem Boshoff? Surely an artist who participated in the Venice Biennale is worthy of inclusion!). Overall, an excellent resource.

My mom loved this book…and so did I! So many amazing artists included here, in one place with nice brief write ups on each.

This is fantastic addition to the field of African art. Excellent resource for students, scholars, or anyone interested in African art.

Nothing wrong with the product. A great book.My complaint is with the way it was sent out. No packaging, my address etc just stuck to the celephane covering , which had a rip. Amazingly the book was not damaged, pure luck. Very disappointed Amazon.
