EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Molende, la Mangbetou" takes us back to the heart of Africa in 1927. The image is part of the renowned collection "Dessins et Peintures d'Afrique" executed during the Citroen Centre Afrique expedition's second mission led by Haardt Audouin-Dubreuil. The photograph showcases a striking portrait of Molende, a proud member of the Mangbetou tribe. Her elongated head and lipombo hairstyle are emblematic of her cultural heritage, reflecting the unique beauty and traditions passed down through generations. As we gaze into Molende's eyes, we can sense her strength and resilience. Her face tells stories untold, carrying with it both joy and hardship experienced on African soil. This powerful depiction serves as a testament to the diversity and richness found within African cultures. Preserved in a private collection, this rare lithograph by Alexander Yakovlev offers us an opportunity to connect with history while celebrating Africa's vibrant past. It reminds us that art has no boundaries; it transcends time and place, allowing us to appreciate its universal language. Through this image captured almost a century ago, we are transported to another era where exploration met culture in an extraordinary journey across Central Africa. Let Molende's presence inspire you as she represents not only her tribe but also countless others who have left their mark on our world.
