Product Description

Product Description

In this study, Blier examines the artworks of the contemporary "vodun" cultures of southern Benin and Togo in West Africa, as well as the related "voudou" traditions of the Americas. Blier employs theoretically sophisticated psychological, anthropological and art historical approaches to explore the contrasts inherent in the "vodun" arts - commoners versus royalty, popular versus elite, "low" art versus "high". She examines the relation between art and the slave trade, the psychological dynamics of artistic expression, the significance of the body in sculptural expression and indigenous perceptions of the psyche.
