African Vision: The Walt Disney-Tishman African Art Collection

.:Description

In 2005, the Walt Disney Company donated its Walt Disney-Tishman African Art Collection to the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of African Art. One of the world's finest collections of African art, it contains iconic pieces dating from the fifteenth to twentieth centuries and represents seventy-five peoples and twenty countries. This book explores the many ways that the collection reflects Africa's rich history and culture. Figures carved in stone, wood, and ivory; stools, masks, crowns, jewellery, and hunting tools - each object is presented in vivid colour plates and accompanied by texts providing information about the objects' history, uses, and materials. This beautiful book accompanies the first public presentation of the collection in the past twenty years.
