Yoruba Sculpture of West Africa
London, William Collins, 1982 Cloth binding with illustrated dustjacket, 209 pages, 31.5 x 24 cm, monochrome and colour illustrations, English texts. Good condition. ISBN 9780394710396.
This book is concerned with Yoruba sculpture of the modern era - roughly speaking, from the nineteenth through the early twentieth centuries. During this period, despite almost continuous warfare, there was a high degree of development in music and dance, in such verbal arts as praise songs and proverbs, and in visual arts - sophisticated crafts in many media and bodily beautification through hairdress, scarification and complex elements of dress. But it is in sculpture 'to celebrate the gods and to maintain the glory of the kinship ' that the diversity, richness and beauty of the Yoruba is found. The Yoruba of the modern era produced some of the largest works of African art in wood - notably the great Epa masks and figurate verandah posts. At the same time they also created exquisite fine scale carving in ivory and demonstrated an outstanding ability to handle complex figure groupings in wood. Some Yoruba artists excelled in metal sculpture, continuing the ancient tradition of lost-wax bronze casting. Of the masters, notably Arowogun of Osi and Olowe of Ise, produced a series of relief sculptures which in their sophistication and beauty rank with some of the best in world art.
