Beauty can be neither explained nor experienced through words.
For this reason the author has intentionally reduced text and comments to a minimum, illustrating the beauty of African art in over two hundred large colour photographs of valuable items belonging to the renowned Matthaes collection, now conserved and exhibited in a special section of the Museo d'Arte e Scienza in Milan.
At the end of 2007, the Management of the Museo d'Arte e Scienza decided to assemble a catalogue also for the African section, which was to include both an assessment of the beauty and an evaluation of the authenticity of the objects. The idea was to capitalize on the long personal experience gained over the years and the results obtained by the Museum's scientific laboratory, using the finest equipment and most advanced analytical methods for the determination of authenticity.
The result is a book of 400 pages which aims to be a useful guide for collectors and lovers of African art, but also to intrigue and fascinate those approaching African culture for the first time.
