Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "At the turn of the twentieth century, in particular Gauguin, Picasso, Matisse, and later the Surrealists, then others right up till the present day, Western artists have drawn on the arts of Africa for inspiration. How can this constant impact ever be measured? The same is true for the arts in Africa. Every sculpture carries within it the heritage of a people, culture, and artistic tradition in the originality of its forms. West Africa, Central Africa, and East Africa each has its own set of characteristics, within which the variety of the sculptures--always similar yet also always different--demonstrates the creativity of the ethnic group that created it. This book presents a remarkable collection amassed by a knowledgeable and impassioned art lover that combines sensitivity with quality--a quality of forms meticulously selected among different African cultures. It includes masks and reliquaries carved in Gabon, effigies and statuettes from Congo-Brazzaville and Congo-Kinshasa, and astonishing objects from West Africa, from Mali to Cameroon, the Koro and Mossi peoples, the Ejagham and Ekoi in Nigeria, and the Gouro in the Ivory Coast. An extraordinary collection of artistic forms that well merits its place in the universal patrimony of art."--Publisher's website.

Download or read book Arts d Afrique written by Musée d'Aquitaine de la ville de Bordeaux and published by Hazan. This book was released on 2011 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En réunissant plus de 200 oeuvres d’art exceptionnelles – pour la plupart jamais présentées au public – provenant de grandes collections privées et publiques européennes, le musée d’Aquitaine à Bordeaux propose, à travers l’exposition Arts d’Afrique, voir l’invisible du 21 mars 2011 au 21 août 2011, une lecture originale de la création africaine. Son rapport à l’invisible, révélateur d’une vision du monde singulière, est indispensable pour comprendre et découvrir les richesses passées et présentes des cultures du continent africain. Un premier espace couvre les principales aires culturelles de production des masques. Il présente des ensembles complets de masques avec costumes exceptionnels. Le deuxième espace évoque la spécificité de la statuaire africaine également perçue comme agent de communicatio avec l’invisible qui se manifeste entre autres au travers de rituels de protection ou de guérison; Le dernier espace traite de différents accessoires (boîtes,paniers, plateaux, figurines, cloches, talismans, agrégats...)qui, entre les mains des praticiens, permettent le contact avec l’invisible et restent des instruments énigmatiques. L’authenticité, la représentativité et le caractère inédit des oeuvres ont guidé le choix des objets provenant de musées français et européens (Quai Branly, Tervuren, Neuchâtel, Dapper) et de collectionneurs privés qui ont consenti des prêts exceptionnels au musée d’Aquitaine.
Download or read book Ritual Masks written by Henry Pernet and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2006-03-01 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ritual masking is an important institution in many traditional societies and has attracted much attention from Western scholars. In 'Ritual Masks', Pernet provides a thorough survey of masks and masking traditions in Africa, Oceania, and the Americas, based on a close analysis of the literature in several languages. Pernet's approach provides him with an opportunity to examine issues of importance to the history of religion and anthropology. These include the influence of theory on the interpretation of prehistoric documents; androcentrism in anthropology and the history of religions; and Western scholarship's recurrent problems in interpreting preliterate or traditional societies.

Download or read book Persona written by Anne-Marie Bouttiaux and published by 5 Continents Editions. This book was released on 2009 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Réunissant 180 masques d'Afrique exceptionnels - certains publiés ici pour la première fois - et des œuvres d'artistes contemporains africains, cet ouvrage passionnant propose une nouvelle interprétation du masque comme objet universel qui cache autant qu'il révèle. En examinant l'utilisation des masques lors des danses, des rituels et du système de croyance qu'ils servent et qu'ils représentent, ce livre explore aussi leurs rôles matériel et symbolique en tant qu'objets " privés de vie" lorsqu'ils sont extraits de leur contexte. Ils soulèvent de surcroît des questions sur l'identité, l'estime de soi et la perception de l'"Autre" dans la société occidentale.
