About the Item
Representing the fascination that so many French and Belgian sculptors had in the people of the colonies established by their nations in West and Central Africa, culminating in the exposition colonial Internationale held in Paris in 1931, this gorgeous and sensitive depiction of nude and seminude figures from the Cote d'Ivoire were sculpted by Jean-Marie Camus. The nude male figure is playing a traditional three-part drum, and the semi-nude female figure is balancing a large bunch of bananas on her head. Beautifully sculpted and finished in an espresso-hued paint, the pair was sculpted for an important home designed by Euge'ne Printz and were originally sold by Christie's years ago.

"African Drummer, " Fabulous Cubist Bronze Sculpture, France, 1920s
Located in Philadelphia, PA
A brilliant example of early French cubist sculpture, this depiction of an African drummer, her hands beating the two-sided drum and her head looking up as she sings or chants to the music, illustrates the fractured, reinvented reality that Picasso and Braque invented just ten or twenty years before. The abstracted breasts of the figure bring to mind the mature Cubism of Ossip Zadkine, Jean Souverbie...
