Book excerpt: Idealized pairings have been an enduring concern of sculptors across the African continent. This universal theme of duality is now examined in a handsome book that presents African sculptural masterpieces created in wood, bronze, terracotta, and beadwork from the twelfth to the twentieth centuries. Drawn from thirty sub-Saharan African cultures, including those of the Dogon, Lobi, Baule, Senufo, Yoruba, Chamba, Jukun, Songye, and Sakalava, the sculptures tell much about each culture's beliefs and social ideals. These artistic creations are astonishingly rich and diverse forms of expression. An essay written by Alisa LaGamma discusses thirty works, all of which are illustrated in color.

Book Synopsis Eternal Ancestors by : Barbara Drake Boehm
Download or read book Eternal Ancestors written by Barbara Drake Boehm and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2007 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Many masterpieces of central African sculpture were created to amplify the power of sacred relics that affirm a family's vital connection to its ancestral heritage. This important volume, focusing on some 130 works representing a diverse variety of regional genres, illuminates the purpose and significance of these icons of African art, which first came to prominence because of their appeal to the Western avant-garde. While providing an overview of sources ranging from colonial explorers, missionaries, critics, artists, and art historians, the book breaks new ground in its examination of the complex aesthetic and spiritual dimensions of the reliquaries. Its interdisciplinary approach brings together the perspectives of scholars in African and medieval art history along with those in African history, religion, and ethnography." -- Publisher.

Book excerpt: Les objets soigneusement sélectionnés dans cette publication et provenant de l'Afrique de l'Ouest, de l'Afrique centrale et orientale, à travers les formes qui leur sont propres, nous invitent à renouveler notre perception et notre compréhension des messages qu'ils contiennent. L'humble acceptation de notre connaissance parcellaire peut se transformer en énigme. Cette approche de l'objet, considéré comme un secret, éveille l'esprit et le coeur à des réalités que nous ne soupçonnions guère. Accepter l'énigme, c'est reconnaître qu'une part du mystère de l'objet nous échappe et que l'autre part, invisible, peut nous apparaître. Tel est le chemin proposé dans ce livre : repérer des clés de connaissance et d'approfondissement sur les plans stylistique et esthétique.
