Description
Rare and extraordinary collection of objects, beautifully photographed, presented in three museums in 1978, are a joy to the eye with a text by the Cornet father, probably the foremost authority on the art of the Republic of Zaire. This book presents a new classification system whose father Joseph Cornet developed the Zairian art. An essential reference book for those interested in sculptural art of the vast area of the former Congo; valuable for both the general public and academics with an interest in primitive art and contemporary art as well as museums and universities. It presents new interpretations, complete re-classifications, new names and locations for a large number of people, styles and sculptures of the region.
