The African Dream - Visions of Love and Sorrow: The Art of John Muafangejo Foreword by Nelson Mandela. 162 illustrations
New York: Thames and Hudson Inc., 1992. Paperback. 120p., profuse b&w linocut plates which are captioned by the artist in the plate, further captioned by the editor, provided with chapter intervals of background text and with endnotes. Probably a first American edition (presswork done in Slovenia), softbound in 11x8 inch decorated wraps. Covers slightly handled, remainder mark in inkpen across bottom edge, else a very good copy: sound, and otherwise clean and unmarked.
The artist (1943-1987) was pathologically lonely, yet inflated by late celebrity; he died after confinement in a madhouse.
