Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Werner Gillon examines the major influences on African culture and art over the centuries: the civilizations of Egypt and the Mediterranean coast, the spread of Islam, the Bantu migrations, the evolution of the tribal system, the arrival of the Europeans and Christianity and the development of trade within Africa and beyond. He then examines the earliest known art forms, the astonishing prehistoric rock art found in a number of regions and the sophisticated artefacts of the ancient Nubian, Aksumite and Nok cultures, and goes on to consider the development of the visual arts in a number of individual regions ranging from the Sahara to the Cape from Ethiopia and the Swahili coast in the east to the Niger Delta and Benin in the West."--Publisher's description

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Informed by the latest scholarship yet written for the general reader, this has been the first comprehensive study to present the arts of Africa in art historical terms. A History of Art in Africa covers all parts of the continent, including Egypt, from prehistory to the present day and includes the art of the African Diaspora. Many aspects of visual culture are given detailed consideration, including sculpture, architecture, and such quintessentially African forms as masquerades, festivals, and personal adornment. The arts of daily life, of royal ceremony, and of state cosmology receive compelling discussions. Throughout, the authors emphasize the cultural contexts in which art is produced and imbued with meanings." "Among the ancient works illustrated are masterpieces in brass, gold, ivory, stone and terracotta. Religious arts serving Islamic and Christian communities are presented, as are fascinating hybrid arts that periodically arose from African interactions with Europe, Asia and the Americas. Twentieth-century arts are explored as part of the vibrancy of modern Africa and as ingenious responses to historical change. 'Twenty-first-century African artists, and artists of the African Diaspora, are presented in the context of changing global economies and new theoretical positions." "This expanded and revised second edition provides a new chapter on African artists working abroad, and five new short essays on cross-cultural topics such as tourist arts, dating methods, and the illicit trade in archaeological artifacts. The illustrations - featuring a vast and rich array of images of artworks, archival and contemporary field photographs, explanatory drawings and plans, and individual objects displayed in museums and in use - have likewise been greatly extended, with many more pictures now shown in color."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book African Art and the Colonial Encounter written by Sidney Littlefield Kasfir and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2007-10-24 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the theme of warriorhood, Sidney Littlefield Kasfir weaves a complex history of how colonial influence forever changed artistic practice, objects, and their meaning. Looking at two widely diverse cultures, the Idoma in Nigeria and the Samburu in Kenya, Kasfir makes a bold statement about the links between colonialism, the Europeans' image of Africans, Africans' changing self representation, and the impact of global trade on cultural artifacts and the making of art. This intriguing history of the interaction between peoples, aesthetics, morals, artistic objects and practices, and the global trade in African art challenges current ideas about artistic production and representation.

Download or read book The Black Art Renaissance written by Joshua I. Cohen and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2020-07-21 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading African art’s impact on modernism as an international phenomenon, The “Black Art” Renaissance tracks a series of twentieth-century engagements with canonical African sculpture by European, African American, and sub-Saharan African artists and theorists. Notwithstanding its occurrence during the benighted colonial period, the Paris avant-garde “discovery” of African sculpture—known then as art nègre, or “black art”—eventually came to affect nascent Afro-modernisms, whose artists and critics commandeered visual and rhetorical uses of the same sculptural canon and the same term. Within this trajectory, “black art” evolved as a framework for asserting control over appropriative practices introduced by Europeans, and it helped forge alliances by redefining concepts of humanism, race, and civilization. From the Fauves and Picasso to the Harlem Renaissance, and from the work of South African artist Ernest Mancoba to the imagery of Negritude and the École de Dakar, African sculpture’s influence proved transcontinental in scope and significance. Through this extensively researched study, Joshua I. Cohen argues that art history’s alleged centers and margins must be conceived as interconnected and mutually informing. The “Black Art” Renaissance reveals just how much modern art has owed to African art on a global scale.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pendant des décennies, les nations africaines ont lutté pour la restitution d’innombrables œuvres d’art volées pendant l’ère coloniale afin d’être exposées dans des musées occidentaux. Bénédicte Savoy met en lumière cette histoire largement méconnue. Elle s’appuie sur de nombreuses sources inédites pour révéler que les racines de cette lutte remontent bien plus loin que ne l’indiquent les débats récents, et que ces efforts ont été menés par une multitude de militants et dirigeants des nations nouvellement indépendantes. Peu après 1960, lorsque dix-huit anciennes colonies d’Afrique ont accédé à l’indépendance, un mouvement en faveur du rapatriement des œuvres a été lancé par les élites intellectuelles et politiques africaines. L’autrice retrace ces combats et examine aussi comment les musées européens ont tenté de dissimuler des informations sur leurs collections. En expliquant pourquoi la restitution est essentielle à toute relation future entre les pays africains et l’Occident, ce livre pose les éléments du débat autour de ces questions cruciales pour le présent et l’avenir. Bénédicte Savoy est depuis 2009 professeure d’histoire de l’art à l’université technique de Berlin, où elle est titulaire d’une chaire consacrée à l’« Histoire de l’art comme histoire culturelle ». Elle est l’autrice de nombreux ouvrages, dont Patrimoine annexé. Les biens culturels saisis par la France en Allemagne autour de 1800 (Éditions de la Maison des sciences de l’homme, 2003), Nofretete. Eine deutsch-französische Affäre, 1913-1931. En 2018, elle a publié avec Felwine Sarr Restituer le patrimoine africain (Seuil/Philippe Rey).

Download or read book Metropolitan Fetish written by John Warne Monroe and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-15 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 1880s to 1940, French colonial officials, businessmen and soldiers, returning from overseas postings, brought home wooden masks and figures from Africa. This imperial and cultural power-play is the jumping-off point for a story that travels from sub-Saharan Africa to Parisian art galleries; from the pages of fashion magazines, through the doors of the Louvre, to world fairs and international auction rooms; into the apartments of avant-garde critics and poets; to the streets of Harlem, and then full-circle back to colonial museums and schools in Dakar, Bamako, and Abidjan. John Warne Monroe guides us on this journey, one that goes far beyond the world of Picasso, Matisse, and Braque, to show how the Modernist avant-garde and the European colonial project influenced each other in profound and unexpected ways. Metropolitan Fetish reveals the complex trajectory of African material culture in the West and provides a map of that passage, tracing the interaction of cultural and imperial power. A broad and far-reaching history of the French reception of African art, it brings to life an era in which the aesthetic category of "primitive art" was invented.
