Summary

For the first time, Carl Einstein’s three most important texts on African art are joined together in this critical edition. Negro Sculpture, published in 1915, is the first theoretical text to take African art seriously on par with other modern art movements. The 1920 essay Afrikanische Plastik constitutes the author’s initial thoughts on the topic. Finally, À propos de l'Exposition de la Galerie Pigalle, originally published in French, is an authentic survey of Einstein’s ethnological knowledge.

Esta edición crítica, al cuidado de Liliane Meffre, experta investigadora y traductora de la obra de Carl Einstein ofrece, reunidos por primera vez, los tres textos más importantes de este autor sobre arte africano. La escultura negra (Negerplastik), publicado en 1915 en Leipzig, es el primer texto teórico que confiere al arte africano un estatuto de arte de primer rango.Como dice Liliane Meffre, este ensayo, denso e innovador, que abre caminos inexplorados, sigue siendo hoy una de las obras maestras del siglo XX que debe leerse y comprenderse como un manifiesto a favor del arte moderno, más concretamente del cubismo. Complementa dicho texto una erudita investigación, de Ezio Bassani y Jean-Louis Paudrat sobre la iconografía de la edición original. De La escultura africana (Afrikanische Plastik) publicado en Berlín en 1920, se ofrece un fragmento inicial que resume el pensamiento del autor sobre el tema. Por último, A próposito de la exposición de la Galerie Pigalle, París 1930, publicado originalmente en francés, constituye un auténtico alarde de los conocimientos etnológicos del autor.
