The Dallas Museum of Art will present a rich and comprehensive look at
African visual culture through The Arts of Africa, the first catalogue dedicated
to exploring the Museum’s collection of nearly 2,000 objects—acclaimed as one of
the top five of its kind in the United States.
Commemorating the 40th anniversary of the collection, which began with a gift of
more than 200 objects from DMA benefactors Eugene and Margaret McDermott, the
catalogue draws from both historical sources and contemporary research to
examine over 100 figures, masks, and other works of art that represent 52
cultures, from Morocco to South Africa. Both visually and intellectually
compelling, The Arts of Africa celebrates the striking beauty and stylistic
diversity of African art, as well as its social and historic significance.
The rrichly illustrated 320-page book was written by Dr. Roslyn Adele Walker, Ph.D., the DMA’s Senior Curator of the Arts of Africa, the Americas, and the Pacific and The Margaret McDermott Curator of African Art.
This beautifully illustrated book showcases 110 objects from the Dallas Museum of Art’s world-renowned African collection. In contrast to Western “art for art’s sake,” tradition-based African art served as an agent of religion, social stability, or social control. Chosen both for their visual appeal and their compelling histories and cultural significance, the works of art are presented under the themes of leadership and status; the cycle of life; decorative arts; and influences (imported and exported). Also included are many fascinating photographs that show the context in which these objects were originally used.
