Krátky popis
Written by two acclaimed scholars Okwui Enwezor and Chika
Okeke-Agulu, El Anatsui, is the most comprehensive, incisive and
authoritative account yet on the work of El Anatsui, the
world-renowned, Ghanaian-born sculptor. The product of more than
three decades of research, scholarship and close collaboration with
the artist, this book shows why his early wood reliefs and
terracottas, and the later monumental metal sculptures, exemplify
an innovative critical search for alternative models of art making.
The authors argue that the pervasiveness of fragmentation as a
compositional device in Anatsui's oeuvre invites meditation on the
impact of colonization and postcolonial global forces on African
cultures.At the same time, the simultaneous invocation of
resilience and fragility across his media invests his abstract
sculptures with iconic power. Insisting on the intimate connection
between form and idea in Anatsui's work, the authors show how, in
his critically acclaimed metal works, the manual work of
flattening, cutting, twisting, and crushing bottle caps and using
copper wires to suture and stitch the elements into one dazzling,
reconfigurable epic piece serves as a powerful metaphor for the
constitution of human society. This book presents Anatsui as a
visionary of incomparable imagination.Yet, it places his work
within a broader historical context, specifically the postcolonial
modernism of mid-twentieth-century African artists and writers, the
cultural ferment of post-independence Ghana, as well as within the
intellectual environment of the 1970s Nsukka School. By recovering
these histories, and subjecting his work to vigorous analysis, the
authors show how and why Anatsui became one of the most formidable
sculptors of our time.
