Mulongoy Pili Pili (République Démocratique du Congo, 1914-2007)Oiseaux protégeant le nid signé 'Pili Pili' en bas à droitehuile sur toilesigned 'Pili Pili' lower rightoil on canvas83 x 100cm. (32 11/16 x 39 3/8in.)Footnotes:ProvenanceCollection privée, USALe design a toujours été au premier plan de la pratique de Pili Pili. Initié dans sa carrière en tant que décorateur d'intérieur, l'artiste a développé sa technique vers des approches plus intrinsèquement réflexives et personnelles, comme en témoigne la présente œuvre. Représentant des scènes de nature avec des images picturales plates d'animaux et de plantes, Pili Pili réalise des peintures exquises, telles que la présente œuvre. Animé par le désir de susciter une réponse esthétique immédiate à ses souvenirs, cette œuvre peut être considérée comme une réaction réflexe reflétant son passé intimement lié à une compréhension philosophique de son histoire.Bon nombre de ses œuvres examinent et observent le règne animal et ses réalités difficiles. En effet, on pourrait dire que son travail reflète les réalités de l'environnement dans lequel Pili Pili a grandi au Congo, alors sous le contrôle de la colonisation belge. Rejoignant l'atelier de Romain-Desfossés en 1947, Mulongoy bénéficia d'une certaine liberté esthétique sous l'enseignement de Pierre Romain-Desfossés et de sa philosophie moderniste. Pierre Romain-Desfossés croyait en la préservation et la promotion des pratiques esthétiques traditionnelles du peuple congolais, refusant de les éradiquer sous l'influence du colonialisme occidental.Dans l'œuvre ici présentée, des oiseaux surgissent, leurs plumes d'une beauté éclatante, créant une symphonie de formes et de couleurs. Chaque détail, chaque coup de pinceau, est méticuleusement exécuté pour saisir l'essence de la nature ailée. Les jeux de lumière subtils et les touches abstraites ajoutent une dimension poétique, invitant le spectateur à s'évader dans un monde enchanteur.À travers son art, Pili Pili nous transporte dans un royaume où la nature est magnifiée et où les oiseaux deviennent des messagers de grâce et de tranquillité. Ses tableaux, véritables hymnes à la beauté, nous invitent à contempler la fragilité de ces créatures célestes et à renouer avec notre propre nature émerveillée.L'œuvre de Pili Pili est un véritable témoignage de son talent artistique exceptionnel, capable de susciter des émotions profondes et d'éveiller en nous une connexion intime avec le monde naturel. À travers ses tableaux d'oiseaux, il nous invite à explorer les mystères de l'existence et à nous émerveiller devant la splendeur de la création.Design had always been at the forefront of Pili Pili's practice. Initiating his career as a house decorator, the artist would evolve his technique to more intrinsically reflective and personal approaches in content such as the present lot. Rendering nature scenes with flat pictorial depictions of animals and plants, Pili Pili executes exquisite paintings such as the present lot. Motivated in his works to access an immediate aesthetic response to his memories, the present lot can be viewed as a reflex reaction portraying his past intertwined with a philosophical understanding of his history. Many of his works examine and observe the animal kingdom and its harsh realities. Indeed, it could be said that his work may reflect the realities of the environment that Pili Pili grew up surrounded by in Congo which, at the time, was controlled by Belgian colonial rule. Joining the Romain-Desfossés workshop in 1947, Mulongoy was enabled a level of aesthetic freedom under his teacher's, Pierre Romain-Desfossés, modernist philosophy. It was Pierre Romain-Desfossés' belief to maintain and promote traditional aesthetic practices of the Congolese people and not to eradicate it under Western colonialism. In the presented artwork, birds emerge with their brilliantly coloured feathers, creating a symphony of shapes and hues. Every detail, every brushstroke, is meticulously executed to capture the essence of winged nature. Subtle plays of light and abstract touches add a poetic dimension, inviting the viewer to escape into an enchanting realm.Through his art, Pili Pili transports us to a realm where nature is exalted, and birds become messengers of grace and serenity. His paintings, true hymns to beauty, beckon us to contemplate the fragility of these celestial creatures and reconnect with our own sense of wonder.Pili Pili's work is a testament to his exceptional artistic talent, capable of eliciting profound emotions and awakening an intimate connection with the natural world. Through his bird paintings, he invites us to explore the mysteries of existence and marvel at the splendour of creation.Bibliographie Perrin Lathrop, African Artists, From 1882 to Now, ed. Joseph L.

Three Anatolian marble idols Kusura-Beyecesultan Type, Early Bonze Age II, circa 2700-2300 B.C.5.4-7.3cm high (3)Footnotes:Provenance: with Gallery Serodine, Ascona, who stated the two larger ones were originally found together.

A Roman obsidian skyphos Circa 1st Century B.C.–1st Century A.D.5.9cm high, 13.4cm diam. incl. handlesFootnotes:Provenance:The Ludwig Herinek collection, Vienna, 1970s. Anonymous sale; Christie's, London, 6 October 2011, lot 205. The Nico F. Bijnsdorp Collection (NFB 266), acquired from the above sale.Exhibited:The National Museum of Antiquities, Leiden (NL), 'GLASS', 1 June 2020 – 28 February 2021.Obsidian vessels rarely survive from the Roman period. The technique of engraving decorative details onto these vessels is known to us primarily from surviving fragments, though the stippled decoration on this skyphos is without parallel. For an undecorated skyphos see an example sold at Christie's, New York, 5 & 6 December 2001, lot 626; for an obsidian fragment cut with a design of vine leaves, see the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, acc. no. 17.194.2359.Though survivals are rare, it is apparent that obsidian vessels were a luxury object in the Roman world. See S. M. Goldstein, Pre-Roman and Early Roman Glass in the Corning Museum of Glass, New York, 1979, p. 285, no. 858 for an obsidian vessel fragment formerly in the Sangiorgi collection with engraved design; the fragmentary remains of a handle in the form of a feline demonstrates how ornate these luxury objects were in antiquity. In May 1954 three obsidian skyphoi, with similar handles to the present lot, were excavated in Villa San Marco, Castellammare di Stabia. They are ostentatiously decorated with inlays of gold and mosaic depicting Egyptianising scenes. They are now in the Naples Archaeological Museum (inv. nos 294471/2/3; reproduced in S. Walker and P. Higgs (eds.), Cleopatra of Egypt, from History to Myth, London, 2001, p. 284, fig. 9.5).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
