Beschreibung : Senufo Female Figure, Central Region, Côte d'Ivoire tugubele height 10 1/2in (27cm) Provenance Marceau Rivière Collection, Paris Drs. John and Nicole Dintenfass Collection, New York In discussing the style of the central region, Robert Goldwater notes, 'In profile there is the repetitive forward thrust of the coiffure, jaw, breasts, belly, knees and feet against the strong axis of the back, a manner of composition which is to be found, with variations, in other areas as well. More particular to the central region is the sense of slenderness that goes with these thrusting forms, and that is especially evident in the upper arms from which the rings of ornamental bracelets stand out. Characteristic, too, is the elliptically outlined headdress, finishing at the front with an upward reverse twist.' ( Senufo - Sculpture from West Africa, The Museum of Primitive Art, New York, 1964, p. 25) The present work illustrates how dynamically angular Senufo sculpture can be. The artist has depicted abstract, majestically rendered body elements. The proportionally large head, bordered by large crescent-form ears, shoots forward with the chin extending past the nose. The shoulders, from which her protruding breasts jettison out, are rounded in the front, yet flattened in the back leading to unthinkably thin arms that gradually swell at the forearms. The flanged hands rest on a narrow torso with the stomach flowing forward. The swelling of the hips balances with the shoulders above and rest on columnar legs planted into the round base, extremely fine black patina of usage with delicately adzed textured surface and wear indicative of late 19th/early 20th century creation.
