African Designs from Traditional Sources

Lots of illustrations and well researched, has an ‘academic’ feel.

Full of lovely illustrations

I love using African designs in my artwork and this is a great source book! I only gave it 4 stars in rating it because all the designs are in black and white and I would have loved to have seen some of the wonderful vibrant colours which are seen in African art but on the otherhand it has left me freer to be able to use my own colours when I use the designs. If you love African designs, this is a great book to own and one which I turn to on a regular basis for design inspiration.

s'alright

Lots of inspo for artists and anyone wanting to learn more about traditional African designs.

モノづくりや表現に迷ったら、いろいろヒントになりそうなアフリカ各地の図画集(カタログ)である。活版印刷のようなシンプルで擦り切れた印刷で、デジタル感のないところが何か新鮮である。

Très beau livre. Aux amateurs d'art africains je le recommande vivement. C'est aussi une bonne source d'inspiration pour faire des dessins sur différents supports

I love this book and the illustrations are great references to google and see the objects online

Just what I was looking for to provide lots of examples quickly for my art students. Very little info is given about each design, but this is more of a picture book than a research book.
