Sleeping Beauties: The Jerome L. Joss Collection of African Headrests
published by the Fowler Museum of Cultural History, University of California at Los Angeles
1993
214 pages
Paperback
Language English
ISBN-10: 0930741285
ISBN-13: 978-0930741280
A collection of African Headrests in colour + B&W, together with descriptive text.
exhibition catalogue
Headrests have typically been seen as modest objects with a simple function -- to support the head during sleep.
On loan from the UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History, "Sleeping Beauties" is drawn from the extraordinary collection of Jerome L. Joss.
The headrests are a superb study in the marriage of form and function - most are only 4-6 inches high.
Over 100 exquisite headrests, primarily from Africa (including Egypt) with smaller groupings from Asia and Oceania, were featured in this exhibition.

This catalogue opens with a Biography of Joss by Henrietta Cosentino, followed by four essays: Introduction to African Headrests and Catalogue by William Dewey; Declarations of Status and Conduits to the Spirits -- A Case Study of Shona Headrests and Catalogue by William Dewey; The Pillow in East Asia and Catalogue by Toshiko McCallum; Headrests of Oceania and Catalogue by Jerome Feldman.

The book has 151 full-color and black-and-white illustrations, plus 39 smaller duotone figures of the headrests.
A number of priceless masterpieces are depicted.

African carved wood examples included are by: Madi in Uganda; Tesso or Acoli or Lango in Northern Uganda; Somali in Somalia, Kenya; Pokot or Turkana in Kenya; Karamajong in Kenya; Rendille; Borana; Teke in Zaire; Yaka; Luba; Zela; Swazi in Swaziland; Ovumbundu in Angola; Akan in Ghana; Fulani in Guinea; Tellem in Mail; Central Shona in Zimbabwe; Tsonga in Mozambique.

Chinese, Japanese and Korean examples are ceramic, lacquered wood and silk, bamboo, wood and woven rattan from the 12th-20th centuries. Oceanic examples are wood from Java, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Tonga and Fiji.

The book concludes with Bibliographies (one each for Africa, Asia, and Oceania).

PRÉSENTATION :
Entre le XVIe et le XIXe siècle, l'empire luba développe des arts extrêmement raffinés. Depuis des siècles, les ateliers des maîtres-sculpteurs luba perpétuent des techniques de taille pour la réalisation de statuettes et d'objets qui sont des emblèmes de pouvoir: sceptres, lances, porte-flèches, sièges, etc. L'auteur a consacré vingt ans de sa vie à l'élaboration de cet ouvrage, qui présente plus de 150 sculptures - explorant le royaume luba, ses mythes, son histoire, ses peuples, ses artistes et ses arts.

HARD COVER WITH DUST JACKET
This is an excellent book written by the expert in African Art, François Neyt.
The book is dedicated to the African Art made by the Luba people. The Luba can be situated in Congo/Central Africa. The Art from the Luba people is worldwide known and admired by African art collectors and experts. You will find in this book a lot of pictures of figurative statues, masks, wooden bowls, royal scepters, cariatides etc.
Twenty years of research by the author have resulted in the publication of this volume, the most comprehensive study to date of the Luba arts. Centered around the main categories of Luba artistic objects and their relation to political institutions, the text examines the "bowl bearers" and other instruments of divination, which lead to the Luba world of prophets, seers, and diviners, the foundation myths of the kingdoms, and the royal enthronement rites and the objects used for it. In addition, objects--sculpted and non-sculpted--used in every day life are extensively examined in this ethno-morphological study of the cultural, historical, and sociological factors that led to the emergence of the Luba Kingdom. The objects, illustrated in large, excellent color photographs, were displayed at a major Luba exhibition at the Musee Dapper in late 1993 and early 1994 Paris.

Die zweibändige Publikation zeigt im einen Teil rituelle Gegenstände wie Masken, Ahnenfiguren und Totenpuppen, im anderen die Nutzung dieser Artefakte im täglichen Leben Afrikas heute.
Die Beobachtungen der Fotografin Leonore Mau verschmelzen mit den poetischen Glossen ihres Lebensgefährten Hubert Fichte zu einer ethnopoetischen Erfassung der afroamerikanischen Religionen.
Der zweite Band ist eher klassisch ethnografisch angelegt und präsentiert viele schöne Objekte der Sammlung in Verbindung mit ihrer wissenschaftlichen Beschreibung. Auch hier gibt es Texte von Hubert Fichte, die subjektive Empfindung mit Analyse verbinden.
One shows important items of the collections, the second photos of Leonore Mau from West Africa and the Amerikas.

African Art: An Introduction (World of Art)
Publisher: Thames & Hudson
Publication Date: 1993
Binding: Paperback
ISBN: 0500202672
261 illus., 61 in color
About this title:
Willet reveals the extraordinary breadth and aesthetic power of a continent that has produced diverse forms of art. A comprehensive text that examines both the ancient and contemporary art of Africa-- from wooden figures from ancestral shrines to a recent multimedia approach to picture making-- as well as the study of African art. Moreover, Willet traces the influence of the Fang, the BaTake, the BaKota, and other African peoples, on the development of twentieth-century Western art.

La couleur exprime le sacré. Les textes interrogent la mémoire des peuples de même que la tradition orale. Examinant règles et codes, ils montrent que la couleur est dépositaire de la dimension spirituelle de l'objet sculpté, de sa valeur et de son prestige.

A brilliant Cure master-carver, Sabu Boti, is the focus of this ethnographic study of 20th century Gun, mask-carving and the use of masks in Guro ceremonies and society.
During the authors' 1975 and 1985 field work in the Ivory Coast they photographed virtually every step of the carving process, and thus are able to photographically delineate this complex, lengthy effort.

Secrecy: African Art That Conceals and Reveals (African Art)
THE MUSEUM FOR AFRICAN ART NEW YORK
MUNICH
PRESTEL
1993
Contains approx. 200 photographs/illustrations in color and black-and-white. "Secrecy is central to all human affairs and artistic expressions: something is always revealed, something concealed. In African cultures, elaborate art works often announce the presence of secret knowledge wile paradoxically protecting its contents. Secrecy offers penetrating new insights into knowledge, power, and artistic creativity in Africa. The unseen elements in a work of art may be more essential and powerful than what meets the eye."
