Zimbabwe : Art, Symbole Et Sens

This volume deeply explores the historical art of the three main Zimbabwean cultures, Shona, Ndebele and Tonga. It studies how art is an integral part of life and can be found thus in functional or sacred objects, interiors, fashion, individual acts and ordinary events.

This book opens a window on symbolism in Africa, confirming that mind naturally takes two parallel codes into account: the external code of sensorial conscience and the internal one of subjective conscience.
