haut. 23 cm ; 9 in


Bembe Figure, Democratic Republic of the Congo 

collects ion du peintre Georges Valmier (1885-1937), Paris

Transmis par descendance

Cette miniature exprime magistralement toute la puissance de l'ancêtre représenté. Elle s'impose dans le contraste entre la force de la pose et des masses corporelles, et la délicatesse des traits, des détails anatomiques et des scarifications envahissant l'abdomen. A la superbe patine d'usage, brun rouge et brune, brillante sur les reliefs répond la monumentalité expressive de la sculpture.
