New York, New York, U.S.A.: The New Press, 1993. Unbound. Fine/Fine. Photographs. Which African artworks were made for religious and political leaders? How are African masks used?

In addition to twenty-four 81/2" x 11" unbound images, the African Art Portfolio comes with a twenty-four-page booklet that includes a brief introduction to African art and four short, well-illustrated essays that provide background information on each image. The essays titles give the portfolios' central themes: "African Art and African Ancestors," "Art of African Cities and Kingdoms," "African Masks: Forms and Uses," and "The Creativity of African Artists." 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
