Dreams and Reverie : Images of Otherworld Mates Among the
Baule, West Africa (amazon.com) - USA (amazon.co.uk) - UK
by Philip L. Ravenhill
This
title is quite specific to African culture and art but any with a focus on
African images will find it an important key to understanding artifacts and
images relating to otherworld mates among a particular West African tribe.
Social and psychological probes of the Baule peoples are presented in a title
which crosses boundaries between art, sociology, anthropology and cultural
studies. Students of object art will find its narrow focus fascinating.
(Midwest Book Review)
Baule - African Art,
Western Eyes (amazon.com) - USA (amazon.co.uk) - UK
by Susan Mullin Vogel
Ms.
Vogel is an authority on African art whose present book concentrates on the
Baule of the Ivory Coast, whom she has studied for more than twenty-five years.
Baule masks and sculpture have considerably influenced European artists,
although the Baule themselves do not acknowledge "art." They have
"things"--objects endowed with meaning and capable of exercising power.
