Eliard, Stéphane. L’art contemporain au Burkina Faso [Contemporary Art in Burkina Faso]. Paris: Harmattan, 2002.

African art has seen renewed interest in the West in recent years. However, African countries don’t benefit equally from it. In Burkina Faso, which remained on the fringes of these developments, we are currently seeing the emergence of a real art world. This book analyzes the conditions of its evolutions and gives an overview of contemporary art in this country.
