Summary: An Excellent Book about the Chokwe Artists of Angola!
Comment: Chokwe! Art and Initian Among Chokwe and Related Peoples, is a stunning accomplishment! This exhibition catalogue shows some of the finest works of Angolan art by the Chokwe people. Significant, because much of what is in this book has been selected from not only museum collections but from top notch private ones as well. the one hundred fifty pieces selected include Royal Art (figures of chiefs) origins that can be traced back to the Luna migrations of the 16th century, Weapons, Snuff mortars, Whistles with bird figures and figurative heads, Masks of female ancestors, Divination baskets, Headrests and other magnificant pieces. Prestel has created a lavishly illustrated volume with excellent historical, religious and cultural insights. This book is a must for anyone who loves African Art!
