Inhaltsangabe

The masks in this book, all presented by two or more images, are accompanied by brief commentaries that offer readers — be they scholars or enthusiasts — an insight into these veritable masterpieces of African art, which in most cases boast an exceptional pedigree, having been included in the most important international collections of extra-European art.

Even though the works with which Zhang has chosen to surround himself are not all extra-European, as Marco Riccòmini explains in his introduction, offering a broader framework for the interpretation of Zhang’s esthetic choices, we have chosen to devote this elegant and carefully crafted publication to a specific aspect of African material culture.

Text in English and French.

I disegni e le stampe (2014), and I Gandolfi. Disegni della raccolta Certani alla Fondazione Giorgio Cini (2018). He has written and appeared in the documentary I Carracci. La rivoluzione silenziosa (2019).
