Abstract

Living in the region between the Lubudi and Kasai rivers in south central Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Luluwa people are known for their elaborately carved male and female figure sculptures, masks, and decorative arts. Constantine Petridis draws on first-hand accounts of numerous explorers, missionaries, colonial servants, anthropologists, and art historians who visited the region between the 1880s and the 1970s, to comprehensively situate the Luluwa's ornate art in its original environment of production and use. Through a close study of published and unpublished sources as well as museum objects and archival photographs, this book sheds new light on the historical context of one of central Africa's most spectacular artistic legacies, whose creation presumably dates back to the second half of the 19th century.

Abstract

Vivant entre les rivières Lubudi et Kasaï, dans le sud de la République Démocratique du Congo, les Luluwas sont connus pour leurs statues masculines et féminines complexes, leurs masques et leurs arts décoratifs. S’appuyant sur les récits de première main de nombreux explorateurs, missionnaires, fonctionnaires coloniaux, anthropologues et historiens de l’art qui ont visité cette région entre les années 1880 et 1970, Constantine Petridis situe l’art ornemental des Luluwas dans son contexte original de production et d’utilisation. Au terme d’une étude approfondie de sources publiées et inédites, ainsi que d’objets muséaux et de photographies d’archives, cet ouvrage jette une lumière nouvelle sur l’environnement historique d’un des patrimoines artistiques les plus spectaculaires d’Afrique centrale, dont la création remonte vraisemblablement à la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle.
