{"product_id":"9781490739410","title":"CHIEFDOM:: THE WOMEN'S WORLD","description":"Chiefdom: the Women’s World introduces a method of viewing\u003cbr\u003eand understanding art. For centuries, artists have relied\u003cbr\u003eon nature and tradition as their great sources of inspiration.\u003cbr\u003eIrregular wooden boards in their natural state are sculpturing\u003cbr\u003eresources that are worthy of adoration and adoption. Nature\u003cbr\u003eproduces the images of Chiefdom on surfaces of wooden\u003cbr\u003eboards and by so doing, establishes the system of chiefdom.\u003cbr\u003eThe concept upon which these aesthetics and appreciations\u003cbr\u003ewere figured out was based on the philosophy of truth which\u003cbr\u003epresents the materials, their sources and physical appearances\u003cbr\u003eas the basis of these sculptures. Therefore, the need to\u003cbr\u003epreserve and present the material was as crucial as the institution\u003cbr\u003eof chiefdom.\u003cbr\u003eThe style of presentation of these collections in this book centred\u003cbr\u003eon simplified realism that settled on plain geometric\u003cbr\u003eforms, shapes and lines. Carving technique was at times\u003cbr\u003einterspersed with the jagged shape of the wood boards, tree\u003cbr\u003ebark textures, surface perforations and marks from band and\u003cbr\u003ecircular saws used in milling the timber into wooden boards.\u003cbr\u003eTitles of these relief sculptures were derived from the culture\u003cbr\u003eof Akan-Fante chiefdom and translated into English.\u003cbr\u003eThe females in these compositions are hyped to all the natural\u003cbr\u003estatus of chiefdom even though some of the positions are the\u003cbr\u003epreserve of males. Hence, the dignity of the African culture in\u003cbr\u003erelation to Chiefdom is clearly and solidly sourced from the\u003cbr\u003eform and imagery produced from naturally shaped wood\u003cbr\u003eboards.\u003cbr\u003eSAMUEL ADENTWI BENTUM\u003cbr\u003e(Ph.D)","brand":"Trafford Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130537033968,"sku":"9781490739410","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781490739410_p0.jpg?v=1763657633","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781490739410","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
