Art Bamana et soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d\u2019initiation<\/h2>\n

L\u2019art Bamana du Mali repr\u00e9sente l\u2019une des expressions les plus complexes et conceptuellement sophistiqu\u00e9es de l\u2019Art Africain<\/strong><\/a> li\u00e9 aux soci\u00e9t\u00e9s initiatiques d\u2019Afrique occidentale. Les productions en bois associ\u00e9es au syst\u00e8me Ntomo constituent un langage visuel fortement codifi\u00e9, dans lequel la forme sculpturale devient un vecteur d\u2019enseignement moral, d\u2019identit\u00e9 sociale et de connaissance cosmologique.<\/p>\n

La soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Ntomo fait partie du syst\u00e8me des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s initiatiques Jow<\/em> et r\u00e8gle le passage de l\u2019enfance \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge adulte. Destin\u00e9e aux jeunes hommes non encore circoncis, elle introduit les principes fondamentaux du contr\u00f4le de soi, du comportement \u00e9thique et du r\u00f4le social de l\u2019individu.<\/p>\n

Ce masque appartient au groupe rituel appel\u00e9 Dyo Kunu<\/em>, c\u2019est-\u00e0-dire \u00ab t\u00eates de culte \u00bb, associ\u00e9 aux pratiques initiatiques encore actives. Ces objets sont plac\u00e9s sous la protection symbolique de la hy\u00e8ne primordiale, figure mythique qui incarne une connaissance archa\u00efque, ambivalente et fondatrice.<\/p>\n

Les masques Ntomo pr\u00e9sentent une structure hautement codifi\u00e9e : front bomb\u00e9, nez prononc\u00e9, oreilles allong\u00e9es et m\u00e2choires ouvertes. L\u2019\u00e9l\u00e9ment distinctif est constitu\u00e9 par les cr\u00eates verticales, ou turu<\/em>, g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement au nombre de sept, qui renvoient aux jumeaux mythiques de l\u2019anc\u00eatre originel et symbolisent les capacit\u00e9s cognitives et morales de l\u2019initi\u00e9.<\/p>\n

La forme est construite par une forte g\u00e9om\u00e9trisation des volumes, dans laquelle le naturalisme est enti\u00e8rement d\u00e9pass\u00e9 au profit d\u2019une synth\u00e8se symbolique. Les surfaces compactes et la structure massive conf\u00e8rent au masque une pr\u00e9sence visuelle intense, associ\u00e9e \u00e0 une dimension rituelle et archa\u00efque.<\/p>\n

Ce langage formel, fond\u00e9 sur l\u2019abstraction et la simplification, a exerc\u00e9 une influence importante sur l\u2019art europ\u00e9en du d\u00e9but du XXe si\u00e8cle. Les avant-gardes et le cubisme ont reconnu dans la sculpture Bamana un mod\u00e8le de construction plastique alternatif au naturalisme occidental.<\/p>\n

Ce masque Ntomo Bamana repr\u00e9sente un exemple fondamental de l\u2019art initiatique africain, dans lequel sculpture, mythe et structure sociale se fondent en un syst\u00e8me symbolique unique. Les \u0153uvres de ce type sont aujourd\u2019hui particuli\u00e8rement appr\u00e9ci\u00e9es dans le collectionnisme international pour leur qualit\u00e9 formelle et leur signification culturelle.<\/p>\n
