photokunst artists Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher are launching a lecture series and book-signing tour with the release of their new book, “Painted Bodies.”
“Painted Bodies: African Body Painting, tattoos, and scarification” is a stunning book that features extraordinary photographs of enduring cultures. This is Beckwith’s and Fisher’s fifteenth book covering ceremonies and body painting of African cultures. “One of the most beautiful books I have ever seen,” writes author Alex Shoumatoff.
