It draws inspiration from the postmodern condition of knowledge. It is simply a matter of deconstruction, dehistoricization, and the abolition of the cultural values of Black African art. So, does the rejection of all African cultural values not lead to the legitimization of a fantastical vision of African art? In the axiological repertoire of recent civilizations, there exists a disdain for the old, which is treated as outdated. Hence, the question of whether respect for traditional values constitutes regression or progress.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Our Knowledge Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47889864032407,"sku":"9786630032284","price":7347.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9786630032284.webp?v=1781178035","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-new-aesthetics-of-emptiness-in-contemporary-black-african-art-9786630032284","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
