Testi di Georges Meurant e Robert Farris Thompson. Più di 600 illustrazioni di cui 101 a colori. Bibliografia . 4to pp. 226 Rilegato tela, sovracoperta (cloth, dust jacket) Ottimo (Fine) The Mbuti people, who live in the Ituri rainforest of northeastern Zaire, are one of the few remaining hunter-gatherer cultures in the world. Since 3500 BC they have been famed for their rich arts of music and dancing, but until recently the barkcloth drawings and paintings originally made by the women as loincloths for ceremonies and dances have been virtually unknown in the west. The qualities of these drawings and their reflection of the Mbuti people's way of life, are explored and illustrated in this volume. The drawings are closely analyzed, examined both thematically and aesthetically, and the wider influence of African "forager" art forms on contemporary world art is discussed.Il popolo Mbuti, che vive nella foresta pluviale dell'Ituri nel nord-est dello Zaire, è una delle poche culture di cacciatori-raccoglitori rimaste al mondo. Sono famosi per le loro arti musicali e danzanti, ma fino a poco tempo fa i disegni e i dipinti originariamente fatti dalle donne erano praticamente sconosciuti nell'Occidente. Il volume esplora le qualità di questi disegni e il loro riflesso sullo stile di vita del popolo Mbuti.
