Asen, Ancestors, and Vodun: Tracing Change in African Art
Détails sur le produit: Relié: 188 pages - Editeur: University of Illinois Press (15 avril 2008) - Langue: Anglais
ISBN-10: 0252032551 - ISBN-13: 978-0252032554
Descrizione libro: Asen, metal sculptures of southern Benin, West Africa, are created to honour the dead and are meant to encourage interaction between visible and spiritual worlds in ancestral rites associated with the belief system known as vodun. Drawing on extensive fieldwork in the former Kingdom of Dahomey, Bay traces more than 150 years of transformations in the manufacture and symbolic meanings of asen against the backdrop of a slave-raiding monarchy, domination by French colonialism, and postcolonial political and social change. Bay expertly reads evidence of the area's turbulent history through analysis of asen motifs as she describes the diverse influences affecting the process of asen production from the point of their probable invention to their current decline in use. Paradoxically, asen represent a sacred African art form, yet are created using European materials and technologies and are embellished with figures drawn from tourist production. Bay's meticulously researched artistic and historical study is a fascinating Présentation de l'éditeur

Art contemporain africainL’Art contemporain africain est très dynamique. Il s'inspire aussi bien des traditions du continent que, et c'est de plus en plus le cas, des réalités urbaines contemporaines d'une Afrique en mutation, qui se cherche encore une identité. Les techniques et les supports sont variés, allant de la simple peinture aux installations avec projection vidéo, en passant par des sculptures faites en matériaux de récupération...En 1989, l'exposition « Les magiciens de la terre » (Centre Pompidou, 1989) présentait des œuvres d'art africain contemporain (d'artistes vivants) pour la première fois en Europe, mode de monstration mettant en valeur un certain primitiviste et exotique. En 2005, l’exposition « Africa Remix » qui a été présentée en Allemagne, en Angleterre, en France et au Japon peut être considérée comme la première à présenter un panorama important de l'art contemporain spécifiquement africain, montrant surtout la richesse de l'art africain sub-saharien. Mais l'Afrique elle-même s'est dotée de centres d'art contemporain, de festivals ou biennales sont régulièrement organisés sur le continent pour mettre en valeur le talent des artistes d'aujourd'hui.

Primitive arts in Kaos
Le Journal des Arts - n ° 220 - September 9, 2005
The young Parisian journey Kaos has quickly become the global meeting place among lovers of primitive art. With a fourth edition even richer.
It took only two years at Kaos-Course Worlds in Paris Saint-Germain-des-Prés, home of the primitive arts, to win. Modeled on that of Bruneaf Brussels (Brussels Non European Art Fair), Kaos is an open event bringing together specialist dealers concentrated in one area (ie, exhibiting in their walls or hosted by other galleries). But while Bruneaf is losing momentum in recent years, Kaos is getting stronger. Created in 2002 from an idea by Rik Gadella (among other founder of Paris Photo), the appointment of Parisian art lovers first hosted the first year 21 galleries around the axis of the Rue de Seine, then 40 participants in 2003. The formula took off in 2004 with 51 exhibitors from around the world and has already reached international fame. This latest edition was also shown the excesses of the success of Kaos: merchants had refused leased spaces on the course to enjoy the commercial success generated by the event. Without dwelling on the subject, "not to do their advertising, its management announced a reinforcement of the signage" Kaos "to foreclose any parasites.

This year, 55 galleries will open the festivities on the evening of Sept. 14, in a friendly atmosphere that gives the event a very special charm

Thermoluminescence
La thermoluminescence est l'utilisation d'une propriété physique de certains cristaux qui a été mise au point dans les années 1950 comme méthode de datation, principalement des céramiques.
Principe de base simplifié
Un certain nombre de cristaux, comme le quartz, le feldspath, le zircon ont la propriété d'accumuler au cours du temps, sous forme d'énergie au niveau atomique, l'irradiation naturelle et cosmique du lieu où ils se trouvent. Quand ils sont ensuite soumis à une très forte température, ils restituent l'énergie accumulée sous forme de lumière (photons). Une fois refroidis, l'accumulation peut reprendre.
Utilisation pratique
Les cristaux présents dans les matériaux utilisés pour la confection de poteries, restituent la totalité de la charge énergétique accumulée au cours du temps géologique lors de leur cuisson. Il suffit ensuite de soumettre un échantillon une nouvelle fois à une température élevée afin de mesurer la lumière émise qui sera proportionnelle au temps écoulé entre les deux opérations. En tenant compte du niveau de radiation naturelle du milieu où a séjourné la céramique à dater et de la nature des cristaux en jeu, on obtient par un calcul la datation précise de l'échantillon. Cette technique est aussi applicable à des terres de foyer, des fours, des laves, et en général à tout milieu contenant les cristaux sensibles et ayant été soumis à des températures importantes dans le passé.

Nok (civilisation)
La civilisation Nok apparaît au Nigeria 1000 ans avant J.C. et s'éteint mystérieusement à la fin du premier millénaire. On suppose que sa disparition est due à une épidémie ou une famine dévastatrice. Elle apparaît aujourd'hui avoir été une civilisation très avancée tant sur le plan de son organisation sociale que de son raffinement à une époque où le reste de l'Afrique méridionale entre dans l'ère néolithique (l'âge de pierre lorsque chasseurs et cultivateurs ne pouvaient s'aider que d'outils lithiques). On a, à l'occasion, parlé d'une descendance immédiate avec l'Egypte ancienne, ce qui expliquerait une partie de la maturité de cette civilisation, considérée comme la plus ancienne productrice de terres cuites d'Afrique subsaharienne.
Les pièces d'art que le temps nous a conservées, à travers de fastueuses terres cuites, expriment l'avance technologique de potiers maitrisant l'art du feu et de la cuisson ainsi que la grande qualité des sculpteurs et artistes. Les sujets de leurs représentations sont principalement des dignitaires, des animaux, des reliquaires, conservés pour la plupart des pièces, sous forme de fragments épars. C'est pourquoi l'art Nok n'est principalement connu aujourd'hui qu'à travers des têtes de personnages aussi bien masculins que féminins dont les coiffures sont particulièrement détaillées et raffinées. La raison de ces fragments de statues en est que la découverte de ces terres cuites se fait

André Derain (10 June 1880 – 8 September 1954) was a French painter and co-founder of Fauvism with Henri Matisse.
Biography
Derain was born in 1880 in Chatou, Yvelines, Île-de-France, just outside Paris. In 1898, while studying to be an engineer at the Académie Camillo, he attended painting classes under Eugène Carrière, and there met Matisse. In 1900, he met and shared a studio with Maurice de Vlaminck and began to paint his first landscapes. His studies were interrupted from 1901 to 1904 when he was conscripted into the French army. Following his release from service, Matisse persuaded Derain's parents to allow him to abandon his engineering career and devote himself solely to painting; subsequently Derain attended the Académie Julian.
Derain and Matisse worked together through the summer of 1905 in the Mediterranean village of Collioure and later that year displayed their highly

Arts and society since 1935
J. VANSINA
Across Africa today the arts give the show an amazing cauldron of creativity emerged with a dizzying diversity of all layers of society. Many new artistic trends date from the second half of the colonial period. Besides, some pioneers are still working today. After all, it is past two generations since 1935. But in that short time, the artistic activity was a richness and diversity as this chapter may at most trace the main lines of its evolution (1).
Initially, we must enumerate a few general features of social and cultural matrix that is all. These are: the growing impact but unevenly distributed in Europe, the growth of cities, social stratification more trenches that lead to the formation of new classes, the industrial division of time has reached the beaches of leisure may be devoted to the practice and enjoyment of the arts, the prestige associated with the technical and technical training, changing the place and role of the artist in society, past status of artisan to that of cultural soothsayer The change in attitude toward art and their use, alteration of values in general and more specifically the changing religious values.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is an art museum located on the eastern edge of Central Park, along what is known as Museum Mile in New York City, USA. It has a permanent collection containing more than two million works of art, divided into nineteen curatorial departments. The main building, often referred to simply as "the Met," is one of the world's largest art galleries, and has a much smaller second location in Upper Manhattan, at "The Cloisters," which features medieval art.
Represented in the permanent collection are works of art from classical antiquity and Ancient Egypt, paintings and sculptures from nearly all the European masters, and an extensive collection of American and modern art. The Met also maintains extensive holdings of African, Asian, Oceanic, Byzantine and Islamic art. The museum is also home to encyclopedic collections of musical instruments, costumes and accessories, and antique weapons and armor from around the world. A number of notable interiors, ranging from 1st century Rome through modern American design, are permanently installed in the Met's galleries.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art was founded in 1870 by a group of American citizens. The founders included businessmen and financiers, as well as leading artists and thinkers of the day, who wanted to open a museum to bring art and art education to the American people. It opened on February 20, 1872, and was originally located at 681 Fifth Avenue.
