This beautiful book was born out of the passion and artistic insight of Marnix Neerman and Hugo Martens. One hundred and twenty-eight masks have been photographed in such a unique style that their artistic nature is revealed to the utmost. Each mask has been shot from the front and from the rear, and detail shots reveal each mask as an almost autonomous work of art. And yet, these masks are not considered works of art in their countries of origin, but rather tools that have a function and a meaning in socio-religious life. Many of these masks have never been displayed or published before and come from reference collections such as the Museum for Middle Africa in Tervuren, Belgium; the Etnographic Museum in Antwerp and private collections in Belgium, France, UK and USA. African Faces was produced in cooperation with the archive of the Yale university, Tribal Art magazine, Parcours des Mondes in Paris and many other experts and will become a future reference work when it comes to the African mask; the powerful photographs accentuate the artistic value of the masks like never before. Text in English & French. AUTHOR: Marnix Neerman is a private collector of African masks and a dealer in contemporary art. Herman Brussens is emeritus professor of African art and cultural history at the University of Ghent. 500 colour illustrations

These teacher materials emphasize African cosmology, which sees an essential division between the village and the bush, or wilderness. The village is the human world of law, family and agriculture. The bush is the domain of wild animals and powerful, unruly spirits. Masquerades allow the villages to temporarily harness the power of the bush spirits, to use for the purposes of civilization. The Cleveland Museum of Art houses many masks from West Africa; magnificent objects that form the core of this lesson. We appreciate these masks and headdresses for their symbolism and the abstract beauty of their design. However, the African art of the mask extends far beyond the mask itself. It is also the performance of music, dance, and storytelling that come together in the masquerade. Both the teacher materials and the suggested extensions encourage the students to participate in elements of the masquerade. Movement, song and storytelling put the objects in context.

The photographs of the African masks and carvers in this book represent the Bwa (or Bwaba), Winiama and Mossi peoples of Burkina Faso, and the Bamana and Dogon peoples of Mali. Gaasch acquired many of these masks in the villages where they were carved. When possible, he interviewed the village carvers, the creators, of these dancing masks. Gaasch's interviews with the carvers underscore the cultural context where traditional African world views persist. And, to the extent possible, they give voice to the masks to reveal their own significance.The masks are, in our times, signifiers of cultures increasingly under siege, hostage to religious fanaticism, or to impoverishing globalization. This small book reaffirms the rights of these masks to continue to dance.
