L\u2019ovale central, les appendices lat\u00e9raux et les \u00e9l\u00e9ments situ\u00e9s au-dessus et au-dessous du visage forment une composition rythm\u00e9e, dont chaque partie contribue \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9quilibre. Cette organisation permet d\u2019examiner des solutions \u00e9loign\u00e9es de l\u2019imitation naturaliste et de les mettre en dialogue avec les transformations de la peinture europ\u00e9enne au d\u00e9but du XXe si\u00e8cle.<\/p>\n<p>Les Kpelye, \u00e9galement d\u00e9sign\u00e9s par des variantes comme kpeliye\u2019e, appartiennent aux traditions Senufo de C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, du Mali et du Burkina Faso. Le visage id\u00e9alis\u00e9, souvent de caract\u00e8re f\u00e9minin, int\u00e8gre des \u00e9l\u00e9ments g\u00e9om\u00e9triques, animaliers et ornementaux. Scarifications, coiffure et proportions refl\u00e8tent des crit\u00e8res de beaut\u00e9 reconnus ; les appendices \u00e9largissent la structure et renforcent sa lisibilit\u00e9 pendant la danse. La finesse de la taille r\u00e9v\u00e8le la capacit\u00e9 du sculpteur \u00e0 raccorder d\u00e9tails et surfaces continues.<\/p>\n<p>Ces images interviennent dans des contextes initiatiques, comm\u00e9moratifs et publics, avec des diff\u00e9rences entre communaut\u00e9s et traditions locales. Leur relation avec le Poro, importante institution \u00e9ducative et sociale, accompagne des usages dans les c\u00e9r\u00e9monies fun\u00e9raires et le divertissement. Les costumes en fibres et les mouvements du danseur compl\u00e8tent l\u2019image. C\u2019est dans la performance que le visage sculpt\u00e9 r\u00e9unit beaut\u00e9, m\u00e9moire ancestrale et relations sociales.<\/p>\n<p>Une ressemblance visuelle avec un tableau cubiste ne suffit pas \u00e0 \u00e9tablir qu\u2019un masque pr\u00e9cis fut le mod\u00e8le de l\u2019artiste. La comparaison est f\u00e9conde lorsqu\u2019elle \u00e9claire des modes distincts d\u2019organisation de la forme. Frontalit\u00e9 et articulation des volumes r\u00e9pondent, chez les Senufo, \u00e0 des principes d\u00e9velopp\u00e9s dans leur tradition, tandis que le cubisme explore des probl\u00e8mes propres \u00e0 la peinture europ\u00e9enne. Ce dialogue rend sensible la ma\u00eetrise constructive des masques et la contribution de l\u2019art africain au modernisme, tout en conservant leurs histoires respectives.<\/p>\n<h3>Bibliographie et comparaisons<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>William Rubin, <em>Primitivism in 20th Century Art<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Robert Goldwater, <em>Primitivism in Modern Art<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/310803\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Metropolitan Museum of Art, Kpeliye\u2019e face mask, Senufo<\/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\/picasso-art-africain-masques-naissance-cubisme\/\">Picasso et l\u2019Art Africain : les masques et la naissance du cubisme<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 7px;line-height:1.45;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daltonsomare.com\/fr\/approfondimenti-tematici\/art-africain-avant-gardes-europeennes\/\">Art Africain et avant-gardes europ\u00e9ennes<\/a><\/p>\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-dan-esprit-initiation-presence-performative\/\">Masques Dan : esprit, initiation et pr\u00e9sence performative<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Le rapprochement entre les masques Kpelye Senufo et le cubisme porte sur la construction du visage par plans, saillies et rapports g\u00e9om\u00e9triques.
