Grosse Colon-Figur
Baule, Côte d’Ivoire
Ohne Sockel / without base
Holz. H 92,5 cm.

Provenienz:
Nachlass René David (1928-2015), Zürich.

Colon-Figuren belegen eindrücklich die Auseinandersetzung der Afrikaner mit der jeweiligen Kolonialmacht im ausgehenden 19. und zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts. Einheimische wurden damals freiwillig oder gezwungenermassen in den uniformierten Dienst der Kolonialherrschaft gestellt und galten in den Dörfern als besonders unangenehm bis gefährlich.

Um das Gleichgewicht eines Dorfes wieder herzustellen und Spannungen abzubauen, wurden daher mitunter möglichst detailgetreue Figuren angefertigt. Diese sollten dann entweder als humoristische Porträts Entspannung herbeiführen oder wurden auch rituell verwendet, um Einfluss auf die Dargestellten zu nehmen.
