ASSOULINE IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE LOST AFRICA: THE EYES OF ORIGIN
USA - Assouline Publishing, the illustrated book publishing house behind enlightening titles as, Fabienne Rousso-Lenoir's America Latina, Bérénice Geoffroy-Schneiter's Asian Art, Ethnic Style and Geishas, Jean Paul Barbier's Vanished Civilizations, and Laure Meyer's African Forums will release a new title this Fall Lost Africa: The Eyes of Origin by Cyril Christo and Marie Wilkinson. It has been nearly thirty years since Cyril Christo first set foot in East Africa, in Kenya, and climbed its highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro. Years later, he went back with his wife, Marie Wilkinson, and today, they continue with faith, determination, and sadness to document the disappearance of the essence of Africa, land of space, nature, and animals. With penetrating black and white images and a lyrically evocative essay, Lost Africa is a tribute to the original beauty of this huge continent and a song for a timeless Africa.
