Gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Das Volk der Baule an der Elfenbeinküste ist für seine raffinierten Masken- und Figurenskulpturen bekannt. Dieses Buch ist das erste, das sich ausschließlich auf einen antithetischen Aspekt der Baule-Kultur konzentriert - grobe zoomorphe Skulpturen, die Affen darstellen. Diese ehrfurchtgebietenden, schalentragenden Figuren beschwören unsichtbare Kräfte herauf und dienen ihren Gemeinschaften durch die Vermittlung von Wahrsagern. Die Autoren untersuchen die Entstehung, die Formen und die Verwendung der Skulpturen und beleuchten die kulturellen und rituellen Kontexte, in denen sie wirkten. Diese wichtige Publikation ist mit über 55 ganzseitigen Farbabbildungen von Werken in öffentlichen und privaten Sammlungen wunderschön illustriert und enthält auch viele unveröffentlichte Feldaufnahmen.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Highlighting the strong bond between a collector and an art dealer, Shared Passion explores a remarkable collection of African art assembled in the twenty-first century This book documents and celebrates the patience and perseverance of, and the friendship between, the Belgian collector Michel Vandenkerckhove and the Belgian art dealer and gallerist Didier Claes, and the exceptional African art collection that is the result of their collaboration. Alongside stunning black and white images of masks, figures, and utilitarian objects from numerous sites across the African continent and from a variety of time periods, essays by art historian Bruno Claessens expound on the most interesting aspects of this collection. Four separate topics are examined in depth: the abstract guardian figures of the Kota, the power statues of the Kongo, the enigmatic art of the Lega, and the much-loved ikhoko pendants of the Pende. An innovative graphic design, featuring photography by Hughes Dubois, shines a light on this extraordinary collection, available to the public for the first time through this publication.
