In addition to a deep dive into the Alphabet, the text would also serve as an introduction to Bouabré's life and practice, with references to numerous other works that will be included in the exhibition.

Review :
Lovely catalogue--the design supports these very graphic pieces with empathy and engaged framing throughout. An already beloved addition to my own bookshelf.-- "AIGA" An investigative path deep into the folklore, language, and religion of his people, the Bété, an undertaking that produced voluminous texts and thousands of drawings, all aimed at elucidating his cultural heritage as the foundation of a universal cosmology. [...] The endeavor is Blakean--to reveal the world in a grain of Bété sand--and the artist's unflaggingly inventive imagination is well suited to the task.--Albert Mobilio "Bookforum" At once overwhelming and refreshing -- a spur to laughter, fascination and philosophical reflection.--Sebastian Smee "Washington Post" Offers a decades-long view of an expansive, persistent artist who saw writing and drawing as congruent parts of a world-spanning system of knowledge.--Jason Farago "New York Times: Arts"
