Le dernier volume de la série « How to Read » du Met, axé sur les textiles riches et variés d’Afrique à travers quarante exemples du XIXe siècle à nos jours. Historiquement, les tissus et vêtements tissés à la main à travers le continent africain ont été des créations à forte intensité de main-d’œuvre, profondément ancrées dans les systèmes de valeurs locaux et régionaux. Ces tissus, fréquemment adaptés aux besoins collectifs et individuels, servent à vêtir le corps, à diviser l’es- pace architectural, à protéger le bien-être physique et spirituel, et à transmettre la richesse et l’autorité. Ce volume de la série acclamée du Met, How to Read, présente quarante chefs-d’œuvre des arts de la fibre africains, d’une tenture intérieure dynamique du XIXe siècle de Sierra Leone à une toile textile onirique d’un artiste malgache contemporain. Les auteurs Christine Giuntini et Jenny Peruski explorent les histoires complexes de production, de consommation et d’échange attachées à ces œuvres extraordinaires ; contex- tualisent les techniques et les matériaux de longue date et récemment adoptés ; et offrent aux lecteurs de nouvelles façons d’apprécier les diverses traditions textiles de l’Afrique.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The latest volume in The Met's How to Read series, focusing on the rich and varied textiles of Africa through forty exemplars from the nineteenth century to the present day Across the African continent, handwoven cloth and clothing have historically been labor-intensive creations deeply embedded in local and regional value systems. These fabrics could be endlessly adapted to communal and individual needs, variously serving to clothe the body, divide architectural space, protect the physical and spiritual wellbeing of the wearer, and convey the wealth and authority of the owner. In this volume of The Met's acclaimed and popular How to Read series, readers are guided through forty masterworks of African fiber arts, from a dynamic nineteenth-century interior hanging from Sierra Leone to a dreamlike textile canvas by contemporary Malagasy artist Joel Andrianomearisoa. Organized geographically, the book explores the complex histories of production, consumption, and exchange attached to these extraordinary works, providing clear explanations of long-standing and newly embraced techniques and materials, as well as offering readers new ways to appreciate Africa's diverse textile traditions.
