HIMALAYAN ARTS 

THE CATALOGUES

A MASQUE DECOUVERT 

REGARDS SUR L’ART PRIMITIF DE L’HIMALAYA

MARC PETIT 1995 STOCK/ALDINES

“Les formes ont plus mémoire que le hommes. Ce qui surgit là, dans tous ces visages silencieux, graves ou hilares, dessine le relief d’un continent submergé: la vieille Asie des chamanes et des cultes de possession.

Face aux formules codifiées des classicismes indien et tibétain, l’art primitif de l’Himalaya affirme sa singularité, sa puissance d’invention et son humour, sa poésie et sa force expressive. “

Marc Petit is a collector of primitive arts for more than 30 years, this catalogue, in which was edited a wide selection of his masks collection, played in the mid of the 90’s a pivotal role  to make known the primal arts of the people of Himalaya to a large number of tribal arts lovers.

The book was awarded with the  Grand Prix du Livre des Arts of the Société des Gens de Lettres.

Marc Petit donated in 2003  25 Nepalese masks of his collection  to the Musée du Quai Branly of Paris; five of these items are already exhibited in the permanent collections of the Museum in the Asian section.

Several of his  masks will be showcased in the exhibition: IN THE WHITE OF THE EYES, HIMALAYAN MASKS / DANS LE BLANC DES YEUX, MASQUES HIMALAYA , which will be held at the Museum du Quay Branly from 9 November 2010 to 30 January 2011.

THE FIRST COLLECTION PUT ON THE WEB IS THE ARCHIVE OF PROFESSOR CHRISTOPH VON FURER-HAIMENDORF.

This collection is widely recognised as the world’s most comprehensive visual documentation of tribal cultures in South Asia and the Himalayas.

The SOAS archive of Professor Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf (1909-1995) includes photographs, cine film and written materials.

It reflects his fifty years of scholarship.

It is especially valuable because it documents these cultures before many changed rapidly with the advent of external civil administration after the mid-twentieth century.

In 1995, Nicholas Haimendorf donated his father’s archive to SOAS, where it was deposited in the Special Collections department of the Library.

The photographic collection, comprises more than 21,000 images
