Les Africanistes, Peintres Voyageurs (1860-1960) (French Edition)

This book retraces the history of European painters who travelled through Black Africa between 1860 and 1960. Some journeyed in the company of explorers, or as part of military, ethnographic, scientific or journalistic missions, others discovered Africa through their own means. Accompanying their works are the tales of their adventures and experiences taken from their journals, books and papers. Over 1150 artists are listed in individual monographs.
