Talk About Tribal Art presents the broad range of art from diverse
cultures around the world via illustrations and concise texts.
Bérénice Schneiter takes us through the history, geography, and
techniques of tribal art, from prehistoric cave paintings to
aboriginal body art via the Klein-blue-before-Klein statues of the
Solomon Islands and the abstract feather art-work of pre-Colombian
pre-abstract communities. What is tribal art, what does it look
like, when did it start? The author refutes common preconceptions
and outdated myths, demonstrating that tribal art comprises far
more than masks, erotic figures, and sacred totems. The text is
richly illustrated, providing a deeper understanding of art forms
such as animal art, portraits, design, and graphics. Moving beyond
the purely historical, the book also demonstrates the innovation,
lasting impact, and current trends of this art form in a section
devoted to artists and artistic movements that have been inspired
by tribal art. A chapter of key dates allows the reader to situate
the historic moments that have contributed to our understanding of
tribal art: from travel writing to great expeditions via
ethnological quests and important exhibitions. One chapter is
devoted to the artists, writers, poets, dealers, and collectors who
informed our modern perception of tribal art. A glossary of terms
clarifies the jargon that charts the evolution in the discovery of
these artifacts, as well as changes in styles and tastes. The
volume is completed by a list of the thirty most important works of
tribal art from around the world and a directory of international
addresses where tribal art can be viewed.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
