Book excerpt: This magnificent celebration of the world's oldest and most diverse artistic traditions is considered the definitive book on African art. Ranging from the oldest known human artifact, circa 1.6 million BC, to pieces made within living memory, the objects collected in this extraordinary volume reflect a continent of enormous cultural and historical scope. Arranged chronologically within seven geographical sections, it offers an astonishing array of sculptures in wood, bronze, stone, and gold, as well as rock paintings, ceremonial pieces, ceramics, jewelry, and textiles culled from private and public collections around the world. Commentary by renowned scholars illuminates the cultural and historical significance of these pieces, and in-depth authoritative texts highlight critical aspects of each region. Together these words and images take readers on an artistic grand tour through a continent of unparalleled diversity, and towards the thrilling discovery of not one Africa, but many.

Book excerpt: "Asked why he decided to collect African art, Paul Tishman replied, "How does one fall in love?" Such was the passion Paul and Ruth Tishman brought to collecting. The Tishmans acquired their first works of African art - an ivory figure and a bronze mask from the Benin kingdom - in the late 1950s. Over the next 20 plus years, the Tishmans built one of the great private collections of African art that included the major art traditions found throughout the continent. The Tishmans' desire to share the art with as many people as possible led to the 1984 sale of the collection to the Walt Disney Company, who proved to be generous stewards, making the collection available for exhibition and publication. In the autumn of 2005, the Walt Disney World Co., a subsidiary of the Walt Disney Company, donated the Walt Disney-Tishman African Art Collection to the National Museum of African Art, Smithsonian Institution, continuing the tradition of sharing the rich history of African art and culture with current and future generations." --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collecting together a group of talented writers, Museum, Media, Message considers, in depth, the most up-to-date approaches to museum communication including: museums as media; museums and audience; and the evaluation of museums. Addressing the need for museums to develop better knowledge of visitor experience, this volume introduces a broad range of issues, and presents the ultimate how, why and who of museum communication. Museum, Media, Message combines philosophical discussion, practical examples and case studies and examines museum communication in three sections: analyzing how museums and galleries construct and transmit complex systems of value through processes of collection and exhibition raising philosophical and management issues and exploration of work with specific audiences introducing methods for studying the audiences’ experiences of communication events in museums. Perfect for people who want to develop a more critical and informed professional museum practice, and for students looking to enhance their skills of analysis and reflection, this book is of value to anyone interested in the current debates and issues of this new and growing field.

Download or read book The First World Festival of Negro Arts, Dakar 1966 written by David Murphy and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 1966, thousands of artists, musicians, performers and writers from across Africa and its diaspora gathered in the Senegalese capital, Dakar, to take part in the First World Festival of Negro Arts (Premier Festival Mondial des arts nègres). The international forum provided by the Dakar Festival showcased a wide array of arts and was attended by such celebrated luminaries as Duke Ellington, Josephine Baker, Aimé Césaire, André Malraux and Wole Soyinka. Described by Senegalese President Léopold Sédar Senghor, as 'the elaboration of a new humanism which this time will include all of humanity on the whole of our planet earth', the festival constituted a highly symbolic moment in the era of decolonization and the push for civil rights for black people in the United States. In essence, the festival sought to perform an emerging Pan-African culture, that is, to give concrete cultural expression to the ties that would bind the newly liberated African 'homeland' to black people in the diaspora. This volume is the first sustained attempt to provide not only an overview of the festival itself but also of its multiple legacies, which will help us better to understand the 'festivalization' of Africa that has occurred in recent decades with most African countries now hosting a number of festivals as part of a national tourism and cultural development strategy.
