THE ART OF AFRICA is a museum catalog that showcases some works from the African Art Exhibit at the Speed Art Museum. It shows off the artwork in a way that does not distract from the art itself. Images are large with multiple views; even if you cannot view the art in person, you will not miss out on all the details. Where the catalog shines is in its organization. Using the Speed Art Museum standards manual, The Art of Africa guides you through the history of different religious and traditional artifacts, as if touring the diverse cultures of Africa. The Art of Africa organizes itself into the seen and unseen art of the Yoruba people and sheds light on how each artifact may have been used or worn.
