Riassunto

Analyzes and compares the prehistoric rock paintings of Zimbabwe to show how the artists selected subjects and how the paintings were executed, and discusses the conventions that determined the paintings' styles and forms. Reconstructs the significance and meaning of the paintings by looking at them in the context of the basic tenets of the Sen societies that still survive on the outskirts of the Kalahari Desert. Includes b&w drawings and color photos of the paintings and their environment. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
