The aim of this book is to break the codes of the vast artistic traditions of Africa. To this end, the text is divided into two parts: the first deals with the different artistic patterns of Africa while the second examines both the traditions and innovations of art as a whole.Artistic production is studied and interpreted in close relation to the world of the sacred, of myth and of religious practices -- a context which is vital to understanding the meanings and styles of this exuberant art.A new and radical interpretation of African Art breaking with traditional practices of art criticism. This work aims to radically revise traditional interpretations of African art that are based on European artistic traditions. It examines how African art is the product of traditional cultures and how it has adopted elements from different cultures such as Islam and Christianity.
