Zimbabwe
Stone Sculpture:
A Retrospective 1957-2004
Compiled by Doreen Sibanda
Fifty
years after its emergence, Zimbabwean Stone sculpture is now hailed as
one of Africa's most original and internationally praised artistic movements.
This informed retrospective reflects upon the origins and development
of this movement and discusses some of the challenges it continue to face.
With its full-colour plates divided into six decades, this book showcase
those artists who have made Zimbabwean stone sculpture so unique –
from the first artists to those of today, and from the very well known
to the sculptors who still work behind the scenes (who still wait for
recognition), to all those who create or have created with unfaltering
imagination.
'It is high time a retrospective book on Zimbabwe's sculpture movement
was published. Over the years, the movement has produced some of the world's
finest stone sculptors.' – Dominic Benhura
