Product details
"Paint in Traditional Ghanaian Art: Evolution, Application, and Meaning" is a scholarly book that explores the development, application, and significance of colors in the traditional art forms of the Asante and Kassena Nankana ethnic groups in Ghana. The author, Emmanuel Antwi, employs a qualitative approach that encompasses aesthetic contextualism and a constructivist perspective to illuminate the rich tradition of Ghanaian painting. The book describes eleven different colors and pigments classified by their origin and illustrates how these traditional societies used colors for decoration and surface protection, as well as for expressing proverbs and philosophical ideas. It becomes clear that the people in these cultures had a profound understanding and respect for their environment, creatively utilizing it to meet their needs. The work offers a valuable perspective on the diversity of traditional African art, which often focuses on painting rather than just sculpture.
