Paintings by Pygmy Women of the Ituri Forest, a book by Georges Meurant and Robert Farris Thompson.
Originally made as loincloths for ceremonies and dances, these drawings are sophisticated compositions, embodying the qualities of improvisation and syncopation that are associated with the African visual and musical sensibility.
An exploration in detail. Closely integrated with the text are over 600 illustrations, including more than 100 colour plates that faithfully reproduce the subtle hues, textures and designs of the art.
