About This Antiquarian
Book |
This Antiquarian LONG OUT OF PRINT auction catalogue lists and describes 826 Lots, MOST of which appear to be illustrated, of an incredible selection of Pre-Columbian, African, Classical, Egytian and Asian Antiquities ! Included are -- ancient glass, vessels (pots, bowls, flasks, storage containers, etc., many figurative) , votive objects, human and animal figures, amulets, fetishes, Santos, ancient coins, swords and other weapons, Buddhas, textiles, ritual and ancestral figures, masks, GOLD and other body adornments, erotica, among MANY others!
Countries/Cultures of origin include -- Sahara, France, Arabian Desert, Denmark, dynastic Egypt, Cyprus, Italy, Etruscan, Greece, Luristan, Roman, Byzantine, Islamic, Israel, Coptic, Colima, Mexico, Mezcala, Nayarit, Costa Rica, Maya, Nazca, Sinu, New Guinea, Bambara, Makonde, Dogon, Baule, China, India, Tibet, Philippines, and MUCH MORE!
WOWSERS! I have been interested in these cultural things, usually called primitive art, since I was a teenager, but have very infrequently run across a reference source as diversified and well-illustrated as this one is, with fabulous archaeological finds, cult items and ancestral 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, I guarantee that you will most certainly find MANY new ones to add to it in this reference, both in fine photos and descriptive details -- as well as their values, which is very important when you might find a treasure at that local country auction or yard sale -- it does happen! Lavishly illustrated ! Antiquarian Book in EXCELLENT+ Condition!! Return to |
