    "description": "Claude-Henri Pirat, qui est d?j? l'auteur de travaux publi?s sur diff?rents sujets comme la statuaire des lobi ou le ma?tre de buli dont il a dress? le catalogue raisonn?, nous d?voile ici, de la grande sculpture de l'afrique de l'ouest ou de l'afrique centrale jusqu'aux objets les plus usuels, les oeuvres dont il est ou a ?t? le collectionneur. Grand voyageur, visitant r?guli?rement le continent africain jusque dans ses endroits les plus recul?s, il documente son livre de nombreuses photos de terrain.nPr?c?d?s d'un avant-propos d'Anne-Marie Bouttiaux et d'une pr?face de Fran?ois Neyt, tous les textes, y compris les notices ethnographiques, sont de l'auteur et, comme il nous le dit dans son pr?ambule : ?ayant d?cid? d'?crire moi-m?me le texte de ce livre, cela me permettait de briser les codes, de ne pas circonscrire mon propos ? une collection d'oeuvres d'art qui n'est qu'un des volets de l'int?r?t que je porte ? l'afrique, mais de l'?largir ? la d?couverte que j'ai faite de ce continent, de ses habitants et de ses productions artistiques, du march? de l'art et de ses acteurs, des mus?es, et de certaines des grandes questions qui ont fait et font d?bat en la mati?re, et qui ont aliment? chez moi des r?flexions que j'ai pris la libert? d'exposer ici, au cours de d?veloppements qui n'ont donc rien ? voir avec un essai d'anthropologie, d'histoire de l'art ound'esth?tique ?. ? cela s'ajoute un travail photographique original que l'auteur a d?cid? d'entreprendre lui-m?me sur les oeuvres d'art pr?sent?es, en tentant de renouer avec la sobre ?l?gance de la photo en noir et blanc.n-nClaude-Henri Pirat, who has already authored different publications about lobi statuary or the buli master of whom he established the 'catalogue raisonn?', reveals in here, from the great sculpture of west and central africa to the most usual objects, the works of art he is or has been the collector of. A great traveller, regularly visiting the african continent up to the most remote places, includes many photographs from the field in his book.nFollowing the foreword of Anne-Marie Bouttiaux and the preface of Fran?ois Neyt, all the texts, including the ethnographic ones are by the author and as he says to us in his prologue : ?having finally decided to write the text myself enabled me to transgress established codes and not to limit its focus to a collection of works of art which is only one of the facets of my interest for africa, and to broaden it's content to include my discovery of this continent, of its inhabitants and its artistic production, of the art market and its actors, of the museums, and of some of the great questions that have been and still are under debate in this field, and that have fuelled in me reflections which i have taken the liberty of exposing here, through developments that have nothing to do with an anthropology, history of art or aesthetics essay.?nTo this, is added an original photographic work the author has decided to undertake himself concerning the works of art presented here, whith the aim of reviving the elegant black and white sobriety.",
