|  | Mbuti Design by Georges Meurant, Robert F. Tho
Since 3500 B.C. the Mbuti people, who live in the Ituri rain forest of Zaire, have been famed for their extraordinary arts of music and dancing, but until recently the barkcloth drawings and paintings made by the women have been virtually unknown in the West. Originally made as loincloths for ceremonies, these drawings are sophisticated abstract compositions, embodying the qualities improvisation and syncopation that are associated with African art and music.

 | Le Corbusier by William J. Curtis
Le Corbusier (1887 -- 1965) has been one of the dominant forces in twentieth-century architecture, and many of the forms he created have become archetypes of Modernism. He was also a social visionary and a writer of polemics, whose ideas have generated intense and partisan controversy. This highly acclaimed book provides a comprehensive and objective survey that puts Le Corbusier's career in a more balanced perspective. Making full use of the Le Corbusier archive, the author documents individual projects in detail while linking the imaginative activities of the artist to his philosophy of life, to his urban visions, to his art and to the cultural predicaments of his times.
