Vodou Flags of Haiti

Beschreibung

Folk art traditions in Haiti today have risen to the level of fine art in the beaded flags shown here. Over 350 color photographs present hundreds of unique designs by dozens of contemporary artists. But this is not just a pretty book; it also explores spiritual beliefs at the core of the designs and a folk lore expressed in this most unique format. Personal stories absorb readers into the culture that the flags represent. Beautiful designs and exquisite craftsmanship are featured.
