Caribbean Art (World of Art) Paperback – Import, 11 May 1998

Excellent buy and as described, thanks

El libro súper interesante. Me preocupa la procedencia ya que aparenta ser un libro perteneciente a una biblioteca. No me siento cómoda el tener un libro que aparenta ser ser adquirido de forma incorrecta y yo tenerlo. He tratado de comunicarme con esa biblioteca para devolverlo si fue sustraído ilegalmente. Si es que fue un libro decomisado (que lo dudo) no tengo problema de conservarlo pero quisiera que así me lo indiquen.

Anyone interested in Caribbean art needs to read this detailed scholarly work!…This book is definitely worth the purchase.

Good: How many texts are there on Caribbean art?Bad: The text does not include much of the great many African inspired art of the Caribbean. Most of the pieces included are the ones with more of a European style. Looking at this book one would think this is the only style in the Caribbean. Few to no pieces are representative of the various African religions practiced in the Caribbean such as Vodun (which is spoken about but minimilized), Okomfo (Obeah), or the Yoruba-based traditions.The majority of the pieces are by Cubans of Spaniard origin, which are not representative of the Caribbean as a whole

E xcellent.First book ever that attempts to put together the art of the Carribean,and succeeds in doing so.A pioneering achievement.
