Mali. Masque Ciwarakun
Une des oeuvres les plus reconnaissable de la culture Bamana et de tout l’Art africain est coiffe d’antilope CI-WARA. En tant que société vivant essentiellement de l’agriculture, les hommes et les femmes BAMANA vénéraient le CI WARA comme une divinité contribuant à l’abondance des récoltes. Pendant des cérémonies qui se déroulaient dans les champs, deux danseurs représentant un mâle et une femelle portait sur le tête un cimier CI-WARA tout en étant complétement revêtus de rafias. Ils exécutaient ainsi une danse sacrée qui évoquait l’Union du feu, de la terre et de l’eau.

It was not until the end of the 1960s that statues of the Mumuye culture in northeastern Nigeria appeared on the European art scene, but their impact was immediate and profound. Fans of African art were amazed to discover the abstract interpretation of the human body by the Mumuye, an interpretation which recalls the approach of anatomy by artists of the Cubist and Expressionist movements at the beginning of the 20th century. In addition, their anthropomorphic sculpted figures offer astonishing variations which testify to the very free creativity of these artists and their limitless inventiveness. A careful analysis of the extraordinary forms of these figures – which give off an incredible impression of movement – has led to the establishment of a stylistic classification which identifies different workshops, and even the hands of individual sculptors. In a summary of the rare studies carried out in the field, the book analyzes the essential role of these figures as symbols of a status and a social rank and their links with the veneration of the ancestors, but also their use in the healing practices. and divination. The work offers a selection of masks and other objects, but it focuses above all on the sculpted figures. By presenting around thirty masterpieces from public and private collections,
