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.

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.

Book excerpt: Fang art is one of the most distinguished arts of Black Africa. Its masks, with their facial markings, abstract features and strong, elegant lines, were among the most influential in 20th century modern art. Fang figures, called Bieri, are renowned for their child-like proportions contrasted with a muscular, poised vigilance. Fang art also includes iron currency and other objects that exhibit the traditional African ability to making everyday functional objects things of artistic merit. Fang reviews these artifacts and their social, ritual or symbolic characters. Statuettes related to ancestors, dance masks of the various rites, insignia of power, headdresses and jewellery, decorated music instruments and everyday utensils, all have an amazingly varied aesthetic creativity, in harmony with their profuse world of beliefs and myths.

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.

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.
