WOWSERS! I have been interested in most of these things since I was a teenager, but have rarely run across a source as diversified and well-illustrated with fabulous archaeological finds, cult items and cultural artifacts from the world over!
Picasso founded Cubism as a form of modern art, based largely on the African sculptures and masks he had in his personal collection -- it reduces all of the details of a subject to its simplest form, basically that of lines and suggestive shapes.
If you have already begun your own personal computer interactive relational database of these highly artistic and creative items, you will most certainly find MANY new ones to add to it in this reference, both in fine photos and description details. Lavishly illustrated ! Antiquarian Book in EXCELLENT+ Condition!! Return to |
