ARTstor: African art


ARTstor has collaborated with the University of California, Santa Barbara to share more than 940 images of African art, architecture, and culture from the archives of Herbert Cole. A noted art historian specializing in African art, Cole is Emeritus Professor of Art History in the Department of the History of Art and Architecture at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The collection in ARTstor consists of Cole's field photography, which depicts African art, architecture, sites, and culture from Nigeria, Ghana, the Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, and Kenya. Also included are photographs taken by Cole of African objects in private collections around the world.

To view Herbert Cole: African Art, Architecture, and Culture (University of California, Santa Barbara): go to the ARTstor Digital Library, browse by collection, and click "Herbert Cole: African Art, Architecture, and Culture (University of California, Santa Barbara);" or, simply follow this link: http://library.artstor.org/library/collection/ucsb_cole.
