What is The Art of Benin about?
The stunning artwork of the Benin kingdom (Nigeria) displayed by expert photography is the main attraction in this revised edition, although Ben-Amos' carefully researched text complements the visual delights. She describes the development of the art, its social and religious significance, and the African and European absorption which influenced but never overshadowed the character of the unique masks, jewelry, pottery, and statuary.
