The human cranium has been the subject of various exhibitions and
publications in the last few decades. As an allegory of death, an
evocation of the macabre, or an exotic artefact, it continues to
arouse the curiosity and interest of a broad audience.
In the fields of anthropology and ethnology, the skull is a
perennial topic and a study material. It is the memory of
evolution, a remembrance of the past. In ancient cultures and
tribal societies, it was a bridge between the living and the dead,
a sign of social prestige and an object of religious veneration.
These different aspects have been discussed before, often
confining to the purely scholar perspective of a scientific or
historical context, neglecting the artistic dimension of the
objects.
My aim with this book was to gather a comprehensive collection of
these ritual skulls and heads, representative of the most
authentic styles encountered in different civilizations around the
world, and selected both for their cultural significance and
aesthetic qualities. As human remains these objects were sacred
for the people who kept them, and they deserve all our respect ;
as works of art they earn our admiration because they are
extraordinary creations, an homage to the ancestors, and a
celebration of life. Isn’t this the real purpose of art ?
