EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Uru, la Mangbeou (Niangara) haut Ouelle" transports us to the heart of Africa in the early 20th century. Taken during the Citroen Centre Afrique expedition, this image is part of a collection called Dessins et Peintures d'Afrique executed by Alexander Yakovlev. The photograph showcases Uru, a Mangbetu woman and wife of Chief Tuba from Niangara. Her striking presence is enhanced by her elongated head, a cultural practice known as lipombo that was common among the Mangbetu people. The intricate details captured in this color lithograph bring forth an appreciation for African artistry and tradition. Louis Audouin-Dubreuil and Georges-Marie Haardt led the second mission of the Citroen expedition, which aimed to explore Central Africa. This particular image serves as a testament to their journey's documentation and discovery. Preserved within a private collection now belonging to The Stapleton Collection, this piece offers us insight into African history while celebrating its rich cultural heritage. It reminds us of our interconnectedness with diverse communities across the globe. As we admire this remarkable artwork by Yakovlev through Bridgeman Images' lens, let it serve as an invitation to delve deeper into understanding different cultures and appreciating their unique artistic expressions.
