Notes |
English: This figure might come from a region inhabited by various Bantu-speaking groups, who lived more or less independently of one another. They were grouped together under the ethnic term "Lulua" during the colonial period. Figures of the "Lulua" have spiritual and decorative functions. They refer to the ancestors who give protection to their descendants and help to happiness and beauty. The patterns show scarifications, which also decorated people's bodies in the past. For example, small figures like these were placed next to a baby's bed to protect it from all evil.
Deutsch: Vermutlich kommt diese Figur aus einer Region, deren Bantu-sprachige Bevölkerung aus voneinander unabhängigen kleinen Gruppen bestand. Sie wurden in der Kolonialzeit unter dem Begriff „Lulua“ als Ethnie zusammengefasst. Figuren der „Lulua“ haben spirituelle und dekorative Funktionen. Sie beziehen sich auf die Ahnen, die ihren Nachkommen Schutz spenden und zu Glück und Schönheit verhelfen. Die Muster zeigen Skarifizierungen, die in der Vergangenheit auch die Körper der Menschen schmückten. Kleine Figuren wie diese wurden beispielsweise neben das Bett eines Kindes gestellt, um es vor allem Übel zu schützen. |

The estate of Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, owned by the Karl and Emy Schmidt-Rottluff Foundation at the Brücke Museum, contains his collection of around 100 sculptures and objects with colonial backgrounds. The Brücke artist himself never travelled outside Europe and, to the best of current knowledge, bought these objects in the art trade and from private owners from the 1910s onwards. The collection includes ritual and everyday objects, alongside souvenirs for the Western market. The way they were perceived underwent changes: they came to be seen as objects of art and decoration. Little is known of their origins, the circumstances of their acquisition, or the historical and current importance of the objects. Most of them originate from Germany’s former colonies, thus referring directly to German Expressionists’ entanglements in the often unlawful appropriation of material culture in colonially occupied lands.
