Quarto. The art of Africa is known as a casualty of colonial exploitation,surviving principally in the museums of other continents. never seen by the people who created it. What reappears among African artists today is regarded as a renaissance of a destroyed tradition. Margaret Courtney-Clarke's book is a revelation, not of that renaissance but of a glorious continued existence, under the most destructive forms of physical and psychological hardship imaginable, of an artist culture at the very centre of life itself. The art of the Ndebele women is uniquely rooted in that guardianship;its canvas is the shrine of the home, where children are conceived and reared and family life is housed in the spirit. 188 colour photographs - 203 pages.
