Description
"In this illustrated book, Victoria L. Rovine explores the revival of a traditional African textile known variously as bogolanfini, bogolan, or mudcloth. Over the last decade, artists of the West African nation of Mali have adapted this cloth, featuring black- or brown-and-white geometric patterns, to create a variety of new wares, including intricately detailed paintings, elaborate high-fashion clothing, and a wide range of other products aimed at both domestic and foreign consumers. Rovine describes the styles and forms that have developed as the cloth has moved from its rural origins into an urban international marketplace."--BOOK JACKET.
