brief_description
Hand-thought is the term in the Akan language for what Westerners would call art or craft. This insightful term illustrates that, for the African artist, the act of creating an object and the cultural context of the object created are of equal importance. - David McClelland, Temple Univ. Lib., Philadelphia Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.
