I still continue to find it fascinating that when statues and figures are depicted as having more non-european or more prominently south-saharan African features, those features have somehow been damaged. Noses especially, always seem to have conveniently fallen off. Still, the proportions on faces & even cheekbone structure ultimately tells the truth about what these beautiful African kings and queens looked like. It takes very little research to discover these truths.

Thanks for taking us along!

I first got interested in African art when I visited the Louvre in Paris over a year ago.

I also got a Dutch book about African art and the history there of. It is very interesting because it explains how people of herritage where, before slavery, very powerfull all through Europe.

this is the bomb, I enjoyed virtual tour LOL, Its so funny how they put there own explanations into it when they truly don't understand or know why the artist sculpted it that way.

I got these 2 books:

African Art and Tribal Art..

You should really check them out, I got em from the Library.

The Tribal Art book is thick and it deals with African Art and the Art of the Descendants of Africa in Oceania and Southeast Asia
