This volume presents and describes, through the voice of experts, sixteen African masks from the collection of Leinuo Zhang, a young Chinese collector with a passion for art. Although the works of art he likes to surround himself with are not only non-European, as Marco Riccòmini's text underlines, which outlines a broader framework within which to situate Zhang's aesthetic choices, this elegant and detailed work is dedicated to objects of African material culture.
The masks, each of which is illustrated with at least two photographs, are the subject of short texts allowing the reader, whether a specialist or an art enthusiast, to deepen his knowledge of true African masterpieces, most of which have followed an exceptional itinerary that has led them to some of the most significant international collections of non-European art.
