Cet ensemble inédit, constitué d?une sélection d??uvres rigoureusement choisies et rassemblées durant plus de soixante années, s?accompagne d?un texte déterminant d?Alain-MichelBoyer, qui signe ici son dernier ouvrage initié il y a près de dix ans sur une thématique rarement abordée. En plus de nous offrir des développements précieux sur les cultures dont ces sculptures miniatures sont issues (Côte d?Ivoire, Ghana, Nigéria), il interroge l?expérience même de la forme : métamorphosant l?accessoire, ces créations exaltant la beauté pure sont traitées avec un souci esthétique élevant la parure corporelle au rang des beaux-arts.

On lui doit une vingtaine de livres, dontComment regarder les arts d?Afrique(Hazan, 2017),Baule(5Continents Éditions, 2008),LeCorps africain(Hazan, 2006). Il a publié les seuls ouvrages consacrés aux masques et statuettes de deux peuples jusque-là négligés par les historiens d?art.LesYohouré de Côte d?Ivoire. Faire danser les dieux(Ides et calendes, 2017) etLes Figurines kulango. Lesesprits mystérieux de la brousse de la collection Pierluigi Peroni(5Continents Editions, 2017).
