«Objetos africanos: vida cotidiana, ritos, artes palaciegas» is the essay by Laure Meyer, published by Lisma Ediciones in hardcover (207 pages, in Spanish).
It starts from the idea that, in Africa, the artistic and the utilitarian are not conceived separately: objects of daily and ceremonial use unite form, ornament, and symbolic values. It brings together more than 180 color pieces, mainly from the 19th century, from private collections and museums, and from over a hundred ethnic groups.
The Spanish edition was published in April 2002; the original French title is «Objets africains: Vie quotidienne, rites, arts de cour».
A reference book for those interested in African art, ethnography, and decorative arts.
