It explores cross-cultural affinities spanning the African continent while respecting local contexts; it also documents an exhibition that is extraordinary in scope and scale. The project's overriding goal is to reconsider Western evaluations of these arts in both aesthetic and financial terms. The volume features nearly 300 works from collections around the world and from the important holdings of the Art Institute of Chicago. Although it emphasizes the sculptural legacy of sub-Saharan cultures from West and Central Africa, it also includes examples of artistic traditions associated with eastern and southern Africa as well as textiles and objects designed for domestic, ritual, and decorative functions."-- $c Description provided by publisher. 546 $a Text in English. 585 $a "The Language of Beauty in African Art" : April 3-July 31, 2022, Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth, Texas, United States. 585 $a "The Language of Beauty in African Art" : November 20, 2022-Febuary 27, 2023, The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, United States. 610 20 $a Art Institute of Chicago $v Exhibitions $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Art, African $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Aesthetics, African $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Sculpture, African $v Exhibitions. 650 6 $a Esthetique africaine $v Expositions. 650 6 $a Art africain $v Expositions. 650 6 $a Sculpture africaine $v Expositions. 650 7 $a PHILOSOPHY / Aesthetics. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Aesthetics, African. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00798737 650 7 $a Art, African. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815861 650 7 $a Sculpture, African. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01109523 650 07 $a Kunst. $0 (DE-588)4114333-4 $2 gnd 651 7 $a Subsaharisches Afrika. $0 (DE-588)4053770-5 $2 gnd 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423873 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01424028 655 7 $a Ausstellungskatalog $x Kimbell Art Museum $y 03.04.2022-31.07.2022 $z Fort Worth. $0 (DE-588)4135467-9. $2 gnd 655 7 $a Ausstellungskatalog $x The Art Institute of Chicago $y 20.11.2022-27.02.2023 $z Chicago. $0 (DE-588)4135467-9. $2 gnd 655 7 $a Bildband. $0 (DE-588)4145395-5. $2 gnd 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Rondeau, James, $e writer of foreword. 700 1 $a Petridis, Constantijn, $e curator. $e author, $e curator. 700 1 $a Biro, YaeÂlle, $e author. 700 1 $a Cole, Herbert M., $e author. 700 1 $a Kone, Kassim, $e author. 700 1 $a Lawal, Babatunde, $d 1942- $e author. 700 1 $a Van Damme, Wilfried, $e author. 700 1 $a Vogel, Susan Mullin, $e author. 710 2 $a Kimbell Art Museum, $e host institution. 710 2 $a Art Institute of Chicago, $e host institution. $e publisher, $e organizer, $e host institution. 752 $a United States $b Illinois $d Chicago. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021419.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1E12AF3CF47811EDA3FB15433FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
