21 x 28cm. Hardcover with dustjacket, 247pp. Slight shelf-wear to the edges, otherwise very good condition indeed. Very well-produced illustrated volume tracing the extraordinary history of Haiti's popular art over seven decades, from pioneers including Hector Hyppolite, Philome Obin, Wilson Bigaud and Georges Liautaud - promoted in the 1940s and 50s by Andre Breton and the Surrealists - to contemporary figures: Myrlande Constant, Edouard Duval-Carrie, Frantz Zephirin, The Atis Rezistans group, etc. Haitian voodoo has been a constant source of inspiration and imagery for Haiti's popular art, and that art is often at its most visionary and inventive when reflecting its influence. The book documents a major exhibition presented at Nottingham Contemporary in 2012 curated by Alex Farquharson and Leah Gordon. 'Kafou' means crossroads in Haitian Creole, a key concept in voodoo. Contains texts by Dawn Ades, Truman Capote, Maya Deren, Edouard Duval-Carrie, Alejo Carpentier, Laurent Dubois, Edouard Glissant, Dany Laferriere, Jorgen Leth, Kobena Mercer, Marcus Rediker and Ian Thomson, and essays by Colin (aka Joan) Dayan, Wendy Asquith, Katherine Smith, Gordon and Farquharson.
