"Does not aim at defining African art in its overall expression; it merely tried to cast light -- to a great extent thanks to the exceptional clearness and sharpness of the photography -- on the large masks and statues inspired by everyday occurrences, and to view them with the somewhat fearful and respectful detachment, appropriate to objects imbued with magic." (intro) Showcases these masks and additional sculptures with color and bw plates.
