A propos de cet article

Hardcover. This book is the accompanying catalogue to an exhibition of the same name, which has been created in close collaboration with Maori groups and individuals and marks the beginning of a revitalised connection between them and the carvings currently looked after in Munichs Museum Fuenf Kontinente.The catalogue offers a unique perspective on traditional Maori knowledge, shared through collaboration with descendants of the artists and representatives of the source communities. Showcasing around 80 masterfully crafted carvings, the catalogue offers a compelling view into the artistic excellence and cultural significance of Maori wood art.Little is known about how the Maori carvings now looked after in Munichs Museum Fuenf Kontinente came to Munich. Many were acquired by German collectors in London between 1824 and the First World War, and their exact origin in New Zealand is often unknown. Drawing on material examination of the woods involved, together with stylistic analysis of the carvings, and research into relevant pictorial and written sources, the book traces the story of these artworks and, informed by the in-depth knowledge of Maori specialists, provides insights into aspects of the Maori worldview and philosophy behind them. One chapter highlights the iwi Rongowhakaata and the pou Tawhaki a long-lost post-figure from that groups meeting house rediscovered in the Munich museum.Many carvings are considered by the Maori to be as living and connected to the ancestors all the more desirable, then, to connect them with the descendants of their original makers or owners. Searching for clues to the provenance of the collection of Munichs Museum Fuenf Kontinente reveals old and new relationships. This catalogue offers a unique perspective on traditional Maori knowledge, shared through collaboration with descendants of the artists and representatives of the source communities. Showcasing around 80 masterfully crafted carvings, the catalogue offers a compelling view into the artistic excellence and cultural significance of Maori wood art.
