Even the long-anticipated "Visions Of Africa" Senufo book seems to have gone MIA. This lovely 5 Continents book features masks, figures, pulleys, vessels, spoons, pots, doors, drums, staffs, headdresses, and jewelry. If you know 5 Continents publications, then you know just how good the presentation, paper, and photography is. This book has the added advantage of being the English language version, and including at least a dozen true masterpieces.

It is a very interesting and somewhat different approach to a study of Senufo art.
