Ax Bahia: The Power of Art in an Afro-Brazilian Metropolis by Patrick A. Polk (E

Description: Ax Bahia by Patrick A. Polk, Roberto Conduru, Sabrina Gledhill, Randal Johnson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Axe Bahia examines the unique cultural role played by Salvador, the coastal capital of the Brazilian state of Bahia. An internationally renowned center of Afro-Brazilian culture, Salvador has been a vibrant and important hub of African-inspired artistic practices in Latin America since the 1940s. This volume represents the most comprehensive investigation in the United States of Bahian arts to date and features essays by eighteen international scholars. While adding to popular understandings of core expressions of African heritage, such as the religion Candomble, the essays explore in depth the complexities of race and cultural affiliation in Brazil and the provocative ways in which artists have experienced and responded creatively to prevailing realities of Afro-Brazilian identity in Bahia. Lavishly illustrated, the book features works by artists ranging from modernists, among them Mario Cravo Neto, Rubem Valentim, and Pierre Verger, to contemporary artists Rommulo Vieira Conceicao, Caetano Dias, Helen Salomao, Ayrson Heraclito, and others-including a stunning array of sculpture, painting, photography, video, and installation art. The exhibition was part of the Gettys Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA initiative. Details ISBN 0990762653 ISBN-13 9780990762652 Title Ax Bahia Author Patrick A.
