Beautiful ! amazing art
The art expression by the peoples of Africa is inspiring. An amazing collection of photographs by two of the exceptional experts on the fast disappearing groups on the African continent. Ms Fisher and Beckwith are wonderful photographers Their documentary style is a valuable contribution to the disappearing stories.of many tribal groups in Africa.

... explain how body painting originated and this is a beautiful book for that
We wanted a picture book to help explain how body painting originated and this is a beautiful book for that. Our students will be able to connect where body painting fits in human history, and the significance of it through the ages.

Un grand livre rempli de très belles photos de corps peints ou décorés. Un cadeau idéal. Pour ma part ces images m'inspirent dans mes peintures, mais on peut simplement apprécier la beauté et l'originalité de ces corps.
