What Is African Art?: A Short History Probst Peter
A history of the evolving field of African art.Peter Probst offers the first book to explore the invention and development of African art as an art historical category. By confronting the historically shifting answers to this question, Probst identifies the notion of African art as a conceptual vessel whose changing content manifests wider societal transformations. He starts his exploration with a simple question: What do we actually talk about when we talk about African art?
Rather than providing an affirmative answer to what African art is and what local meanings it has, Probst shows how the works labeled as "African art" figure in the historical processes and social interactions that constitute the Africanist art world.What Is African Art? The perspective is a pragmatic and relational one. covers three key stages in the field's history.
