"The seminal volume on body painting and adornment by the world's preeminent photographers
of African culture. Following the international masterpiece 'Africa Adorned', Carol
Beckwith and Angela Fisher have focused on the traditions of body painting spanning
the vastly unique cultures of the African continent. In a contemporary world so fascinated
with tattoos and piercings, Beckwith and Fisher document the origins of these fashionable
adornments as passed down through African tribal culture. Featured are portraits of
the richly colored, detailed, and exquisite body paintings of the Surma, Karo, Maasai,
Himba, and Hamar peoples, among others. Drawing from expeditions in the field and
firsthand experiences with African peoples and cultures over the past thirty years
and with more than 250 spectacular photographs, this is the definitive work on the
expressiveness and imagination of African cultural painting of the human body."--Provided
