Item Details

Description

Figur, "lusingiti"
Hemba, DR Kongo
Gesockelt (base included)
Holz. H 41 cm.

Provenienz:
Nachlass Dr. med. Hermann Brügger (1928-2009), Solothurn.

Diese Ruhe ausstrahlende und gleichzeitig Respekt einflössende Figur ist eine idealisierte Porträtfigur eines spezifischen männlichen Vorfahren. Durch sie setzen sich die Besitzer mit dem dargestellten Ahnen in Verbindung, um von ihm Schutz für ihre Familie und ihre Güter zu erbitten.

Die mächtige Skulptur wurde in einem Schrein, der mehrere Figuren beherbergen konnte, aufbewahrt. Die mehrschichtige, durch Beopferung und Gebrauch gewachsene Patina zeugt von der rituellen Verwendung.

Die Sicherheit im Umgang mit Form, Proportion und Volumen sowie das gelungene Wechselspiel zwischen Abstraktion und Naturalismus erheben dieses ausgewogene Werk zu einem mustergültigen Beispiel für das Talent der Bildhauer Schwarzafrikas.
