Présentation de l'éditeur
L'art d'arranger la chevelure, de l'orner, magnifie la tête des hommes et des femmes qui ont créé, en Afrique, des coiffures incomparables. Pharaons, prêtres de l'Égypte ancienne, nomades du Soudan, rois et devins des grandes civilisations bantoues, porte-paroles des divinités yoruba ou initiés des puissantes confréries du Centre ou de l'Ouest de l'Afrique, tous se distinguent par leurs parures de tête. « Lieux de mémoire », tes coiffures ont été transposées par les sculpteurs sur les statues et sur les masques. Émanant du fonds Dapper, de grands musées et de collections privées, la centaine d'oeuvres sélectionnées révèle t'étonnante diversité des parures de tête, coiffes et coiffures, et des accessoires qui les accompagnent.

"MEMORY: Luba Art and the Making of History," one of the largest and most important exhibitions of African art ever to appear in the Boston area, will be on view at the Davis Museum and Cultural Center from February 5 through June 7, 1998. Organized by The Museum for African Art in New York City, this critically acclaimed exhibition of exceptionally beautiful artworks explores for the first time in an American museum exhibition the intricate and fascinating culture of the Luba of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire). More than 80 important and beautiful objects are included in the show.
Since it opened in New York City in February 1996, MEMORY has received enormous popular and critical praise. The New York Times described it as "everything an exhibition ought to be. Visually riveting and built on a theme as philosophically complex as it is poetic, it has the pace and pull of an unfolding epic... MEMORY... brings to vivid life an art that is both a wonder of formal invention... and a sovereign vehicle for profound ideas."
MEMORY will include standing figures, staffs of office, ceremonial weapons, masks, divining tools and amulets as well as fine examples of lukasas, or Luba "memory boards," all of which the Luba used as elaborate visual symbols to record their cultural memories, histories, traditions, and royal lineages. The show and its accompanying catalogue are the culmination of a decade of intense and path-breaking research and study

Tradition
La tradition désigne la transmission continue d'un contenu culturel à travers l'histoire depuis un événement fondateur ou un passé immémorial (du latin traditio, tradere, de trans « à travers » et dare « donner », « faire passer à un autre, remettre »). Cet héritage immatériel peut constituer le vecteur d'identité d'une communauté humaine. Dans son sens absolu, la tradition est une mémoire et un projet, en un mot une conscience collective : le souvenir de ce qui a été, avec le devoir de le transmettre et de l'enrichir. Avec l'article indéfini, une tradition peut désigner un mouvement religieux par ce qui l'anime, ou plus couramment, une pratique symbolique particulière, comme par exemple les traditions populaires.

* Dans le bouddhisme, une tradition désigne, par extension, l'ensemble des pratiques, des idées et des connaissances d'une école du bouddhisme.

Africa under colonial rule, 1880-1935
Research Director
Professor A. A. Boahen (Ghana)
In February 1976, in Nigeria, a man was arrested at a police checkpoint between Ibadan and Lagos. He was carrying two bags full of bronze sculptures and wood on suspicion of having stolen it affirmât well as the owner. Upon inquiry, the man telling the truth. Recently converted to Islam, he lived and worked in Ibadan at a community center. The effigies of deities carved Yoruba he was carrying had been brought in Ibadan, like many others, by migrant workers to satisfy the spiritual aspirations of these artisans, shopkeepers, civil servants and other migrant workers in their temporary residence. But the leader of the community, having converted to Islam, began in turn to convert their neighbors. Converted in his turn, the suspect heard himself served as symbols of their ancient faith were to disappear to allow the community center to become a dwelling worthy of the spiritual presence of Allah. Unable to consider destroying these objects, he resolved to return to his village, place of origin, where they have since been resettled.
This incident is a perfect example of the evolution of cultural forms and their concrete manifestation and at the same time, the survival or the renewal of cultural values from specific forms of domination, whether of a religious or more clearly social. What remained true in 1976 was even more common during this period particularly dramatic external domination of Africa, which saw the submission of an entire people, its social

History
Boston Museum of Fine Arts building, Back Bay occupied from 1876 - 1909
The Museum was founded in 1870 and opened in 1876, with a large portion of its collection taken from the Boston Athenaeum Art Gallery. Francis Davis Millet was instrumental in starting the Art School attached to the Museum and getting Emil Otto Grundmann (1844 - 1890) appointed as its first director.
Originally located in a highly ornamented terra cotta brick Gothic Revival building designed by John Hubbard Sturgis and located on Copley Square in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston, it moved to its current location on Huntington Avenue, Boston's "Avenue of the Arts," in 1909.
The museum's present building was commenced in 1907, when museum trustees hired architect Guy Lowell to create a master plan for a museum that could be built

Amedeo Clemente Modigliani (July 12, 1884
– January 24, 1920) was an Italian artist of Jewish heritage, practicing both
painting and sculpture, who pursued his career for the most part in France.
Modigliani was born in Livorno (historically referred to in English as Leghorn), in
northwestern Italy and began his artistic studies in Italy before moving to
Paris in 1906. Influenced by the artists in his circle of friends and
associates, by a range of genres and art movements, and by primitive
art, Modigliani's œuvre was nonetheless unique and idiosyncratic.
He died in Paris of tubercular meningitis, exacerbated by
poverty, overworking, and an excessive use of alcohol and narcotics, at the age
of 35. Early lifeAmedeo Modigliani was born into a Jewish family
at Livorno, in Tuscany.
Livorno was still a relatively new city, by Italian standards, in the late 19th
century. The Livorno that Modigliani knew was a bustling centre of commerce
focused upon seafaring and shipwrighting, but its cultural history lay in being
a refuge for those persecuted for their religion. His own maternal
great-great-grandfather was one Solomon Garsin, a Jew who had immigrated to
Livorno in the eighteenth century as a religious refugee. Modigliani was the fourth child of Flaminio
Modigliani and his wife, Eugenia Garsin. His father was in the money-changing
business, but when the business went bankrupt, the family lived in dire
poverty. In fact, Amedeo's birth saved the family from certain ruin, as,
according to an ancient law, creditors could not seize the bed of a pregnant
woman or a mother
