Africobra: Experimental Art Toward a School of Thought by Wadsworth A. Jarrell

informative medium-paced

5.0

It seems to be an unintended tradition that I read at least one art book a year and I have to hand it to this one, it was great! I went into this book knowing nothing about AfriCOBRA and am leaving happy to say that I learned a lot. The book follows a cohesive narrative about the group's founding, ideas, and members. If you are thinking of reading it to learn yourself or teach others I would definitely recommend this book! It is also quite special, I think, to have this book written by one of the founding members, it gives a lot of clarity to obscure points in the group's founding from what I could tell.
