Couverture rigide. Condition: Neuf. Dust Jacket Condition: Neuf. Au cours de trente années de voyages et de recherches passionnées, René van der Star a rassemblé et classé avec une rigueur philologique une exceptionnelle collection de bijoux en argent provenant des villages les plus reculés de la Chine, du Laos, de la Thaïlande, du Vietnam et du Tibet. Présentés dans ce volume avec des spécimens de tissus ethniques d'une facture extraordinaire, les bijoux de la collection Van der Star constituent un ensemble inégalable en raison de la beauté de leurs formes et de la finesse de leur exécution. L'attention portée au contexte ethnographique dans lequel cesobjets ont vu le jour donne à cette collection une valeur documentaire très particulière, mise en évidence par les essais des différents auteurs qui ont contribué à cette publication. Une analyse précise des us, coutumes et rituels tribaux de différentes minorités ethniques rehausse l'indiscutable valeur esthétique de ces boucles d'oreilles, colliers, bagues et objets d'orfèvrerie divers, témoignages précieux d'anciennes cultures autochtones. Les légendes, qui indiquent la fonction de chaque objet et fournissent des informations détaillées sur la composition des métaux et leur zone de provenance, offrent unultérieur approfondissement. ------------------------------------ Biographie de l'auteur Voici quelque trente ans, René van der Star a commencé à voyager dans des pays lointains. Dès sa jeunesse, il avait ressenti l'attrait de cultures inconnues, la fascination de leurs coutumes. Pour lui, voyager et collectionner étaient indissociables. Les bijoux ethniques ont différents niveaux de signification, et il a tenté de les cerner, ce qui donnait à chacun de ses voyages une signification spéciale. En 2002, ses activités de collectionneur ont débouché sur l'édition du livre Ethnic Jewellery from Africa, Asia and Pacific Islands/Bijoux ethniques d'Afrique, d'Asie et des îles du Pacifique, publié par The Pepin Press, Amsterdam et Singapore. Cette publication accompagnait une exposition au Kunsthal de Rotterdam qui a ensuite voyagé à l'étranger. ----------------------------------Relié: 238 pages-- Editeur : Skira (8 février 2006)--- Collection : ARCHEOLOGIE AR--- Langue : Français--- ISBN-10: 8876243852-- ISBN-13: 978-8876243851--- Dimensions du livre: 31 x 2,6 x 26 cm -----.
