Le visage sculpt\u00e9 appartient \u00e0 un ensemble comprenant costume, accessoires, musique et action du danseur. Leur combinaison permet au masque d\u2019intervenir lors d\u2019occasions publiques, \u00e9ducatives, judiciaires ou festives, avec un caract\u00e8re et une autorit\u00e9 sp\u00e9cifiques.<\/p>\n<p>La diversit\u00e9 des fonctions est essentielle \u00e0 la tradition Dan. Les masques Deangle sont associ\u00e9s aux camps d\u2019initiation et aux demandes de nourriture dans le village ; d\u2019autres types animent danses, repr\u00e9sentations et comp\u00e9titions. Les Gunyege sont notamment li\u00e9s aux courses \u00e0 pied, tandis que des masques particuli\u00e8rement prestigieux peuvent acqu\u00e9rir des responsabilit\u00e9s de repr\u00e9sentation ou de justice. Leur r\u00f4le s\u2019inscrit donc dans une histoire sociale, au cours de laquelle leur autorit\u00e9 peut \u00e9voluer.<\/p>\n<p>La sculpture exprime ces diff\u00e9rences par le traitement du visage. Sym\u00e9trie, ovale, forme des yeux et de la bouche composent des images d\u00e9licates et recueillies ou fortement accentu\u00e9es. Les surfaces polies et les patines sombres de nombreux exemplaires soulignent la continuit\u00e9 du model\u00e9, tandis que les incisions et les reliefs introduisent des variations ma\u00eetris\u00e9es. L\u2019\u00e9conomie de la composition rend chaque d\u00e9cision du sculpteur particuli\u00e8rement visible.<\/p>\n<p>La qualit\u00e9 artistique se reconna\u00eet dans le raccord des \u00e9l\u00e9ments et dans la cr\u00e9ation d\u2019un caract\u00e8re identifiable. L\u2019\u00e9tude formelle gagne en pr\u00e9cision lorsqu\u2019elle int\u00e8gre la danse et le r\u00f4le social. Le rapprochement avec les Kpelye Senufo montre un int\u00e9r\u00eat commun pour le visage id\u00e9alis\u00e9, mais aussi des diff\u00e9rences de structure, d\u2019ornement et d\u2019usage. L\u2019initiation constitue un cadre important parmi plusieurs pratiques Dan, plut\u00f4t qu\u2019une explication unique de l\u2019ensemble des masques.<\/p>\n<h3>Bibliographie et comparaisons<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Eberhard Fischer et Hans Himmelheber, <em>The Arts of the Dan in West Africa<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/311026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Metropolitan Museum of Art, Kagle face mask, Dan<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"dalton-related-insights\">\n<h3>Approfondissements associ\u00e9s<\/h3>\n<div class=\"dalton-fr-approfondissement-link-list\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 7px;line-height:1.45;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daltonsomare.com\/fr\/approfondimenti-tematici\/masques-africains-fonction-rituelle-langage-formel\/\">Masques africains : fonction rituelle et langage formel<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 7px;line-height:1.45;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daltonsomare.com\/fr\/approfondimenti-tematici\/masques-kpelye-senufo-cubisme\/\">Masques Kpelye Senufo et cubisme : forme rituelle, abstraction et modernisme<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 7px;line-height:1.45;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daltonsomare.com\/fr\/approfondimenti-tematici\/masques-punu-visage-memoire-feminine\/\">Masques Punu : visage et m\u00e9moire f\u00e9minine<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Les masques Dan de C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire et du Liberia participent \u00e0 la vie religieuse et sociale en incarnant des esprits et en exer\u00e7ant des r\u00f4les reconnus par la communaut\u00e9.
