Hardback. Condition: New. An unprecedented and intimate look at the masking traditions of a Congolese tribeThe Kuba of the Democratic Republic of Congo are recognized throughout the world for the beauty and inventiveness of their figure sculptures, decorative arts and surface design traditions. However, only a few scholarly articles have detailed the importance of Kuba masking traditions. A View from the Forest documents, in more than 160 photographs, Southern Kuba masking traditions associated with male initiation and funeral rites. This firsthand, intimate view of male initiation rites and mask making is the result of the author's own experiences together with 25 young men in a forest initiation camp. The book reflects the passion, commitment and creativity of Southern Kuba men as they reveal the esoteric lore and teach mask-construction skills to the next generation. Belgian colonialism harshly affected the lives of all Congolese. Art-making in the form of masks, costumes, and community-wide performances proved to be a powerful form of resistance.

Couverture souple. Condition: Neuf. Dust Jacket Condition: Neuf. Edition originale. .Les peuples kuba de la République démocratique du Congo ont engendré l'une des plus grandes traditions d'art décoratif au monde, produisant une incomparable variété d'objets décoratifs pour leur usage personnel. Si les figures royales kuba (ndop) sont considérées comme faisant partie des impressionnantes sculptures d'Afrique subsaharienne, les Kuba ont aussi créé un grand nombre de masques et autres objets d'art associés à l'initiation des jeunes hommes et destinés encore aujourd'hui à l'intégration culturelle des valeurs fondamentales de la société et de la vénération des morts. Cet ouvrage présente des exemples majeurs de sculpture et d'art décoratif kuba principalement en bois. Les auteurs abordent les dynamiques historiques et culturelles sous-jacentes à cette création artistique abondante, directement reliée au désir d'ascension sociale dans les sphères politiques et économiques du XVIIe siècle à la période postcoloniale.---------------------------------------.
