Book of Perfume: Understanding Fragrance - Origin, History, Development, Guide to Fragrance ... Book

Maybe it is the compulsive beauty of its avant-garde paintings, or the exotic Afro-Cuban motifs, or the translucent light that floods every object on the island, or the plentiful subject matter for photo journalism, but Cuban art is infinitely interesting to any visual art aficionado. This particular book is a collection of chronologically organized but somewhat thematically disjointed essays and full color reproductions of major Cuban artworks. Of particular interest are the rare photography of Walker Evans and the excellent selection of Wifredo Lam's genius paintings.
