Download or read book Visual Arts in Cameroon written by Schemmel, Annette and published by Langaa RPCIG. This book was released on 2016-02-27 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annette Schemmel provides a highly illuminating case study of the major actors, discourses and paradigm that shaped the history of visual arts in Cameroon during the second part of the 20th century. Her book meticulously reconstructs the multiple ways of artistic knowledge acquisition - from the consolidation of the "Système de Grands Frères" in the 1970s to the emergence of more discursively oriented small artists' initiatives which responded to the growing NGO market of social practice art opportunities in the 2000s. Based on archival research, participant observation and in depth interviews with art practitioners in Douala and Yaoundé, this study is a must read for everyone who wants to better understand the vibrant artistic scenes in countries like Cameroon, which until today lack a proper state-funded infrastructure in the arts.

Book excerpt: The ancient kingdoms of the Cameroon Grassfields are famous for their splendid artworks--ornamented thrones, wooden figures, enormous drums, finely carved jewelry made from ivory and brass, and fabulous masks. This book presents 150 masterpieces from the courts of the Grassfield kingdoms. Historical photographs illustrate the magnificent life at the courts encountered by European visitors in the late 19th century. Additional field photographs taken in recent years show that the traditions in the Grassfields are still alive today. Two leading scholars in the field of Cameroonian art give an important introduction to the fascinating and complex world of the Grassfield kingdoms: their rituals, secret societies, and, above all, the meaning of art in this context.

The story of Afo-A-Kom, how its absence threatened the very existence of the Kom people, and its eventual return to its home, are ... told by the journalist whose stories of Afo-A-Kom aroused immense international interest when they appeared on the front pages of The New York Times"--Dustjacket.
Download or read book The Art of the Bambui Kingdom Western Grassfields Cameroon written by Mathias Fubah Alubafi and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-26 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written as part of the Bambui Museum and Ecotourism Project (BMEP), this stunningly illustrated book introduces readers to the history of the Bambui fondom in the western Grassfields of Cameroon, and presents an exhaustive interpretation of the artistic and cultural heritage of the fondom. Initially conceived as part of an initiative launched in 2001 by Centro Orientamento Educativo, an Italian NGO, aimed at creating museums in some palaces of the Cameroon Grassfields, the book serves as a pilot endeavour towards addressing problems associated with antiques and other cultural assets such as theft and the illegal traffic of objects, the exploitation of poor fondoms by African art dealers and researchers from the West, and the lack of education about the different ways and means the fondoms could employ to transform these resources to the benefit of all. For anyone aspiring to learn about the rich and diverse art of Bambui, in particular, and the western Grassfields as a whole, this book will prove useful, especially since it is written by someone who has lived, and is still living, the Bambui experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Change of perspective - "artefacts as colonial agents" A white cube for developing new African art. The current publication "Transitional Art of the Tikar from Cameroon" by Dr. David Zemanek, ethnologist and expert on African art adds a new approach to the current restitution debate on traditional African art. So far, the focus recently has been on colonial looting and destruction, as well as the appropriation of the stylistic devices of "primitive art in early 20th century European art" says Dr. David Zemanek in his new book that also caused effects of a stylistic nature in the opposite direction. Without evaluating this change, he uses the Tikar sculptures as an example to show how local artists responded to the increased demand for their carved art by freely combining traditional elements and adding new stylistic features and thus developing a transitional type. These newly created objects - although produced for the art market - have their own sculptural charm, the characteristics of which would not have arisen without the encounter between European and African culture, and which gives the artists behind them a new expression of individuality. Artists could step out of the shadow of their traditional patronage and create new works. We have to rethink the African art market in general, and especially when we are talking about the authenticity of African art and the reception of the western world. Much of the art that is in the African art market now, was made during colonial time for a western audience; the new book of Dr. David Zemanek allows the reader to rediscover the creation of this complex and interesting market.
