"At the turn of the twentieth century, in particular Gauguin, Picasso, Matisse, and later the Surrealists, then others right up till the present day, Western artists have drawn on the arts of Africa for inspiration. How can this constant impact ever be measured? The same is true for the arts in Africa. Every sculpture carries within it the heritage of a people, culture, and artistic tradition in the originality of its forms. West Africa, Central Africa, and East Africa each has its own set of characteristics, within which the variety of the sculptures--always similar yet also always different--demonstrates the creativity of the ethnic group that created it. This book presents a remarkable collection amassed by a knowledgeable and impassioned art lover that combines sensitivity with quality--a quality of forms meticulously selected among different African cultures. It includes masks and reliquaries carved in Gabon, effigies and statuettes from Congo-Brazzaville and Congo-Kinshasa, and astonishing objects from West Africa, from Mali to Cameroon, the Koro and Mossi peoples, the Ejagham and Ekoi in Nigeria, and the Gouro in the Ivory Coast. An extraordinary collection of artistic forms that well merits its place in the universal patrimony of art."--Publisher's website.

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.

"The sculptures in this books, from four style groups in Central Africa - Kongo, Teke, Luba and Songye - were selected above all for their beauty, with a preference for pieces displaying carved signs linked to magic and witchcraft. The texts and photographs take an original slant on these figures, helping us see what is sublime or appealing in them and revealing something of the magic, mystery and fear they embody." -- Book jacket.

Offering a fascinating multi-disciplinary approach to African art, this stunning volume presents 65 works from West and Central Africa, South Africa, and Madagascar, all from one private collection. Organized around four main themes--governance and communication, protection and caring, coming together (celebrating, judging, and awarding prizes) and serving and beautifying--this book offers a general introduction to African art as well as a deeper understanding of the artworks' source cultures. New photographs of the 65 works are followed by a selection of early 20th-century avant-garde photographs and contemporary works--by Alfred Stieglitz, Man Ray, Erwin Blumenfeld, Robert Doisneau, Karl Blossfeldt, as well as Nicolas Bruant, Fr.d.ric Vidal, and Louis Tirilly--showing the close relationship between modern and contemporary Western art and six fascinating African pieces from the collection.
