Abstract	The five papers in this collection on art and music environments in developing countries were presented at the 1984 IFLA general conference. (1) In "Developing an Art for Life's Sake," Gavin Jantjes, a black South African artist currently living and working in the United Kingdom, offers personal viewpoints on issues relating to the art of the Third World and African contemporary art in particular. (2) In "The Designer in a Developing Country and the Information He Needs," H. Kumar Vyas (India) describes the stages which an artist goes through in transforming ideas into actual design concepts, and specifically addresses the lack of available information about a Third World country's own cultural heritage and steps that have been taken at the National Institute of Design to help students systematically design methods of collecting information. (A detailed checklist entitled "Designer's Method for Documenting Traditional Craft Environment" is included.) (3) In "Vision et Recherche des Formes: Une Contribution Informelle a la Discussion" (Vision and the Search for Form: An Informal Contribution to the Discussion), Arnold Pacey discusses the social and esthetic aspects of design and situations which arise in developing countries when the traditional design does not lend itself to technological innovations. (4) In "L'Esthetique des Arts du Quotidien: Images de l'Afrique Noire et des Caraibes" (Esthetiques of Art for Daily Life: Images from Black Africa and the Caribbean), John Magnus (United Kingdom) focuses on the cultural links between countries on the two sides of the Atlantic Ocean as they are reflected in popular art forms. (5) In "Problems in Collection and Preservation of Music Data in Kenya and Suggested Solutions to the Problems," W. A. Omondi (Nairobi) discusses the present state of documentation in Kenya; the need to document traditional music and dance; the operations of the government's proposed Central Research Committee; and the development, dissemination, and propagation of traditional music and dance.
