Maternity : Mothers and Children in the Arts of Africa, Hardback Book

Maternity : Mothers and Children in the Arts of Africa Hardback

Hardback

Available to Order - This title is available to order, with delivery expected within 2 weeks

Description

On the African continent, images of mothers and children are found wherever the visual arts are, from early rock-art sites in Egypt and the Sahara to the contemporary arts of South Africa.

Discovered in a variety of materials, from stone, ivory, and metals to beadwork, wood, and even paintings, images of maternity enliven virtually every type of object made in the region.   Defining maternity as a biological and cultural phenomenon, the author goes beyond obvious notions of fertility to consider the importance of maternity in thought, ritual action, and worldview.

Maternity images of all eras evoke deep and significant messages – well beyond what meets the eye. Distributed for Mercatorfonds
