With the short, dense and revolutionary text of \u003cem\u003eNegro Sculpture\u003c\/em\u003e, Einstein undertook the first (European) critical response to African sculpture, challenging various prejudices and misconceptions around this subject. It would quickly become a crucial text for the European avant-garde and today remains indispensable to understanding the shift in discussion towards non-European art taking place at the time. Originally published in 1915, the complete text of \u003cem\u003eNegro Sculpture\u003c\/em\u003e is presented in English translation here for the first time, including all 108 original plates.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePatrick Healy, writer and philosopher, currently works as a senior researcher at the Technical University Delft.
