The tribal art from Africa

 by Jean-Baptiste Bacquart.

tribal arts of africaThis books contains 800 small images from all types of African art, maps and explanations on the use of them. 

If you must own one book I would say buy this one, it is very easy to put names on unidentified carving from whole Africa with only this book. 

When I participate at a Fair I always take this book with me, because it helps me people to show on the map the tribes, and also related objects from the same tribe.

The Tribal Arts of Africa

240 pages
Publisher: Thames & Hudson (September 1, 2002)

USA Today, Deirdre Donahue
The layout is particularly interesting because it intersperses dramatic color photographs with small black-and-white photographs and text about the art, the tribes and the traditions. Written by the former head of the tribal arts department at Sotheby's, the book is an excellent introduction to African art created before 1920.

"Every library must have this...[an] authenticity of information unavailable in any other single volume on African tribal art."

5.0 out of 5 stars An encyclopaedic work, by Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg)
This beautiful book on the art of Africa south of the Sahara explores 49 cultural areas as regards their artistic production and their political and social structures. The 49 areas are broadly divided under sections for the coast of West Africa; inland West Africa; Nigeria and Cameroon; Gabon and Zaire; and Eastern and Southern Africa.

Each section has its own bibliography. The book includes 865 illustrations of which a least 195 are full color photographs. There are also many maps of the areas under study. The reference section at the end encompasses a further bibliography, lists of major museums and major dealers in African art, a glossary and an index.

The book is a masterpiece that makes accessible the entire panoply of black African tribal arts from the first millennium to the end of the nineteenth century. It is an indispensable reference source for the serious collector and a beautiful encyclopaedia for any art lover.
