Les objets nègres du Pradié. Afrique du Nord and as enjoyable to read

and as enjoyable to read as a novel

this collection of emblematic works spanning five centuries of art history

Les objets nègres du Pradié. Afrique du Nord and as enjoyable to readSupported by numerous photographs, this book is a life seen through objects. Just like Andr Breton before him, Bernard Dufour accumulated numerous primitive art objects in his house in Pradi. He does not, however, define himself as a collector, not seeking to assemble an exhaustive collection from a specific period or movement, but rather as a second hand dealer, taking pleasure in finding new objects, guided in his choice not by history but by form.
