Description for Rock Art Made in Translation: Framing Images of and from the Landscape
Paperback. Framing Images from and of the Landscape. 104 pages, Illustrations (some col.). From the hands of Pippa Skotnes and her team who produced the beautiful and acclaimed Jacana books on the San and their rock art, Claim to the Country and Unconquerable Spirit, comes a smaller but equally handsome volume on rock art copies made by the great German ethnologist, Leo Frobenius. Cateogry: (G) General (US: Trade). BIC Classification: ACBK. Dimension: 213 x 218 x 13. Weight: 604.
Featuring rock art reproductions made by the great German ethnologist Leo Frobenius on his visits to South Africa and Zimbabwe in the 1930s, this collection offers a fascinating look into the past. This account depicts these beautiful museum pieces—some measuring several yards in length—while also considering the issue of copying, or "translating," and its implications of understanding the original. Published to coincide with the copies' first display in the South African Museum after more than 70 years of neglect, this book will certainly engage those interested in the prehistoric roots of art.
