IV 1965 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF SEPIK DISTRICT ART ANNOTATED FOR ILLUSTRATIONS, PART 1 by DOUGLAS NEWTON BIBLIOGRAPHY OF SEPIK DISTRICT ART ANNOTATED FOR ILLUSTRATIONS, PART 1 by Douglas Newton The Museum of Primitive Art This is a working list of material on the visual arts in the Sepik District of New Guinea published up to 31 December 1964, its purpose being the provision of a guide to the very considerable amount of documentation already in print. It does not ad­ here strictly to the administrative boundaries of the District: some items on the coastal area to the east of the Ramu have been included, since these are obviously stylistically related to work from the District itself. The first part, printed here, is a listing of individual documents, each followed by notes on the illustra­ tions it includes. The second part, to appear in the near future, will be an index, by provenience and class of object, to these notes. The entries are of two main kinds. The first consists of books and articles, whether illustrated or not, specifically devoted to the area. Here I have gone beyond the limitations implied by "the arts", and have included some works primarily dealing with general ethnology. To some extent this is unavoidable, owing to the authors' methods of presenting their material; but I have added rather generously to this cate­ gory in the hope that some items may provide background, or side-lights, for the sub­ ject.

[email protected] . +(689) 40 83 52 22 Éditorial Comme vous le découvrirez dans nos pages, nos îles sont souvent à l’origine de destins et de trajectoires marquantes. Ainsi, nous mettons le cap sur l’archipel des Gambier pour rencontrer Félicien, pêcheur de 29 ans, originaire de cet archipel. Vous découvrirez le lien aussi fort que puissant entre ce jeune homme et la mer, si présente et influente dans notre géographie, bien sûr, mais aussi notre culture. La relation spéciale tissée entre lui et l’océan est empreinte de respect et d’humilité ce qui fait de lui un pêcheur et un marin hors pair. Un ensemble de dons et de savoir faire dont il est aussi l’héritier car la mer lui a véritablement été apprise par son père, grand pêcheur et marin aussi. Les trajectoires et histoires liées à certaines oeuvres d’art polynésiennes et océaniennes sont tout aussi extraordinaires et méritent d’être dévoilées. Expression de la société polynésienne pré-européenne, de sa religion et de son génie, elles furent rapportées en Europe à partir dès la fin du XVIIIe siècle par les navigateurs et explorateurs qui « découvrirent » nos îles à l’exemple du capitaine anglais Cook et de ses trois voyages dans le Pacifique. Nombre d’entre elles, à caractères religieux, furent, aussi ramenées sur le Vieux Continent par les missionnaires qui voulait ainsi montrer la réussite de leur travail d’évangélisation dans nos lointaines îles. Tiki et autres objets sacrés, délaissés - voire détruits - par les populations, constituaient le témoignage éclatant de la chute des anciens dieux polynésiens et leur remplacement par un dieu unique celui de la chrétienté… En cette année célébrant e © J.

    François Morellet. Dashes 0°–90°. 1960. © 2016 François Morellet / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / ADAGP, Paris. Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/OCTO_a_00262 by guest on 28 September 2021 “Viewer to Viewer, or The Art of Unpacking One’s Picnic” and Other Essays FRANCOIS MORELLET This anthology of François Morellet’s texts was initially planned as one of the many cele- brations of the artist’s ninetieth birthday that are taking place this year (he was born on April 30, 1926). Alas, he passed away on May 10, and our accolade is now suffused with sadness. Greatly admired in Europe, his work is still little known in the US. The exhibition François Morellet: Systems, organized by the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in 1984 (and touring several North American museums, including the Brooklyn Museum), received almost no atten- tion at the time, despite its remarkable selection, notably of early works, and the excellent introduc- tory essay by Jan van der Marck. In more recent years, several American scholars and critics have begun to explore the many facets of his production during his long career, and even though their essays are being published in France and Germany rather than in the US, the tables may be turn- ing, so that Morellet might at last receive the recognition that he deserves in this country.1 Morellet was a prolific writer, especially from 1970 on, and it seemed to us that one of the most efficient ways to present his work would be to offer a selection of his writings that concern his early development, from the 1950s—during which he elaborated the systematic conception of art that would govern his practice throughout his life—to the 1960s, when he was a member of the Groupe de Recherche d’Art Visuel.

Photo Scala, Florence of Dr Alex Rafaeli Alex Rafaeli’s was an uncommon life. Born in Riga in 1910, the child then known as Sasha lived through the last years of the Russian Empire and the Revolution of 1917. The son of Communist parents, he was a witness to pogroms, and in adolescence was already convinced of the need for a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Alex Rafaeli travelled to Jerusalem for the first time in 1933 and set- tled there in 1954. Between these two dates, he earned a doctor- ate in political science at Heidelberg University and travelled exten- sively. The rise of anti-Semitism hardened his militant stance within the Zionist movement, and he was especially active in this organi- sation during World War II. He arrived in the United States in 1940, joined the U.S. Army in 1943 and took part in the Normandy land- ings. Besides his excellent French, this is Rafaeli’s only known con- nection with France. In her testimony Alex Rafaeli - A Eulogy (Colloquium, June 17 2007, Weyman Institute, New York), his wife Esther Rafaeli noted that only after they had settled in Israel did he have the time to busy himself with and expand his collection of African masks: “He had time to develop his interest in art and to expand our collection of paintings and African masks.
