Dos & Bertie Winkel
Ere Ibeji
Through the lens of Jean-Pierre Depienne and the scholarly pen of Bruno Claessens, the 32 Ibeji from the private collection of Dos and Bertie Winkel are unveiled for the first time in this book. Following a richly documented introduction on the subject, an in-depth analysis explores the great diversity of styles inherent in this singular African art, offering the reader a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of these sacred Yoruba sculptures. This study highlights not only the aesthetic finesse but also the cultural and spiritual significance of these objects in the African tradition. This work is remarkable for its rich iconography, especially the detailed views of each ibeji presented, making it a must-have classic for any library. 161 pages - Texts in English.
