Feticcio antropomorfo dalle linee estremamente essenziali Legno duro, patina molto antica e crostosa, segni del tempo. Dagara, Burkina Faso. 52 x 24,5 cm Provenienza: Galleria Flak, 2004. Ex collezione Michel Vinaver. Asta Ferri & Associés, Les Mondes de Michel Vinaver, Drouot, Parigi, 9 dicembre 2022, lotto 198. Questa figura disegna una silhouette a forma di Y rovesciata, sormontata da una testa rotonda. Ridotto a pochi volumi essenziali, il corpo assume un’espressione singolare, al confine tra figurazione e astrazione. L’opera può essere accostata alle effigi degli antenati maschi dagara studiate da Roger Somé, la cui forma biforcuta costituisce uno dei tratti distintivi. Bibliografia generale: Roger Somé, «La statuaria Lobi e Dagara del Burkina Faso, una questione di estetica», in Michèle Fiéloux, Jacques Lombard e Jeanne-Marie Kambou-Ferrand (a cura di), «Immagini dell’Africa e scienze sociali: i popoli Lobi, Birifor e Dagara», Parigi, ORSTOM–Karthala, 1993, pp. 398–411, in particolare p. 400.
