Book Synopsis Yoruba Metal Sculpture by : Cornelius Oyeleke Adepegba
Download or read book Yoruba Metal Sculpture written by Cornelius Oyeleke Adepegba and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The museum of the Institute of African Studies of the University of Ibadan houses a unique collection of Yoruba metal sculpture - an artistic form less well known and less proliferous than the traditional stone and wood carving, and yet as rich in variety and cultural meaning. The author describes both the museum metal sculptures, and those in other Nigerian museums, and some in private ownership in Nigeria. This resulting book, illustrated with 91 black and white plates, is both a catalogue and a study of the aesthetic quality of the objects set in the context of their cultural significance.

Book Synopsis Art and Risk in Ancient Yoruba by : Suzanne Preston Blier
Download or read book Art and Risk in Ancient Yoruba written by Suzanne Preston Blier and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 793 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Suzanne Preston Blier examines the intersection of art, risk and creativity in early African arts from the Yoruba center of Ife and the striking ways that ancient Ife artworks inform society, politics, history and religion. Yoruba art offers a unique lens into one of Africa's most important and least understood early civilizations, one whose historic arts have long been of interest to local residents and Westerners alike because of their tour-de-force visual power and technical complexity. Among the complementary subjects explored are questions of art making, art viewing and aesthetics in the famed ancient Nigerian city-state, as well as the attendant risks and danger assumed by artists, patrons and viewers alike in certain forms of subject matter and modes of portrayal, including unique genres of body marking, portraiture, animal symbolism and regalia. This volume celebrates art, history and the shared passion and skill with which the remarkable artists of early Ife sought to define their past for generations of viewers.

Book Synopsis Yoruba Art and Language by : Rowland Abiodun
Download or read book Yoruba Art and Language written by Rowland Abiodun and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yoruba was one of the most important civilizations of sub-Saharan Africa. While the high quality and range of its artistic and material production have long been recognized, the art of the Yoruba has been judged primarily according to the standards and principles of Western aesthetics. In this book, which merges the methods of art history, archaeology, and anthropology, Rowland Abiodun offers new insights into Yoruba art and material culture by examining them within the context of the civilization's cultural norms and values and, above all, the Yoruba language. Abiodun draws on his fluency and prodigious knowledge of Yoruba culture and language to dramatically enrich our understanding of Yoruba civilization and its arts. The book includes a companion website with audio clips of the Yoruba language, helping the reader better grasp the integral connection between art and language in Yoruba culture.
