Emil Torday and the Art of the Congo PDF
By:John Mack
Published on 1990 by

|The collection of art from the Congo State made for the British Museum during the opening decade of the twentieth century by the Hungarian adventurer-turned-anthropologist Emil Torday (1875-1931) is unparalleled amongst those from Central Africa. Comprising over 3000 objects, covering the whole region lying along the southern regions of the Equatorial Forest (now southern Zaire), the collection includes some of the most important and best-preserved wood sculpture from Africa and a comprehensive range of richly ornamented objects in wood, metal and textiles. John Mack describes Torday's travels and his relationship with the various Congolese peoples - notably Kwete, the King of the Kuba, whom Torday befriended and greatly admired. He also examines the emergence of a more documentary kind of anthropology than was encouraged by Victorian social theorists, and explores the role the British Museum was to play in this development.| - Back cover.
