peaking of Objects African Art at the Art Institute of Chicago
, Yale University Press, 2020 Hardcover 216 pages Illustrated. ISBN 9780300254327.
, A lavishly illustrated selection of highlights from the Art Institute of Chicago's extraordinary collection of the arts of Africa Featuring a selection of more than 75 works of traditional African art in the Art Institute of Chicago's collection, this stunning volume includes objects in a wide variety of media from regions across the continent. Essays and catalogue entries by leading art historians and anthropologists attend closely to the meanings and materials of the works themselves in addition to fleshing out original contexts. These experts also underscore the ways in which provenance and collection history are important to understanding how we view such objects today. Celebrating the Art Institute's collection of traditional African art as one of the oldest and most diverse in the United States, this is a fresh and engaging look at current research into the arts of Africa as well as the potential of future scholarship.
Luluwa Central African Art Between Heaven and Earth
, Fonds Mercator/ Mercatorfonds , 2018 Hardback, 297x245mm, 256 pages 150 bw and col. illustrations English edition. FINE! ISBN 9789462302143.
Living in the region between the Lubudi and Kasai rivers in south central Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Luluwa people are known for their creation of elaborately carved male and female figure sculptures, masks, and decorative arts Constantine Petridis draws on the first-hand accounts of numerous explorers, missionaries, colonial servants, anthropologists, and art historians who visited the region between the 1880s and the 1970s, to comprehensively situate the Luluwa's ornate art in its original environment of production and use. Through a close study of published and unpublished sources as well as museum objects and archival photographs, this book sheds new light on the historical context of one of central Africa's most spectacular artistic legacies, whose creation presumably dates back to the second half of the 19th century. This book offers a comprehensive survey of the intricate carved male and female figure sculptures of the Luluwa people of central Africa.
Luluwa Central African L'art d'Afrique centrale entre ciel et terre
, Fonds Mercator/ Mercatorfonds , 2018 Hardback, 297x245mm,HB, 256 pages , 150 illustrations.French edition ISBN 9789462302136.
Vivant entre les rivieres Lubudi et Kasai, dans le sud de la Republique Democratique du Congo, les Luluwas sont connus pour leurs statues masculines et feminines complexes, leurs masques et leurs arts decoratifs. S'appuyant sur les recits de premiere main de nombreux explorateurs, missionnaires, fonctionnaires coloniaux, anthropologues et historiens de l'art qui ont visite cette region entre les annees 1880 et 1970, Constantine Petridis situe l'art ornemental des Luluwas dans son contexte original de production et d'utilisation. Au terme d'une etude approfondie de sources publiees et inedites, ainsi que d'objets museaux et de photographies d'archives, cet ouvrage jette une lumiere nouvelle sur l'environnement historique d'un des patrimoines artistiques les plus spectaculaires d'Afrique centrale, dont la creation remonte vraisemblablement a la deuxieme moitie du XIXe siecle.
