Dogon, mais encore, objets d’Afrique, collections d’Europe (Book) by Geneviève Calame-Griaule. Comme Neuf, Somogy éditions d’art. 112 pages. 2002. French texts.
The image of the African continent was shaped by a feeling combining distrust and fascination, which still prevailed when the ethnologist Marcel Griaule left for the Niger-Lac Iro mission in 1938-1939. Objects were brought back on behalf of a wealthy collector, Jean Lebaudy. Deposited at the Institute of Ethnology in Strasbourg in the 1960s, these pulleys, statues, masks from multiple cultures became objects of study.
Beyond the Dogon, the more global question of the perception of African art objects in Western countries arises.
This work, written in a multidisciplinary spirit, tells the story of the pieces collected, their conservation, their place in museums, and offers a different perspective on these objects.
