• HUGE 20TH C. MELANESIAN VANUATU
  HUGE 20TH C. MELANESIAN VANUATU SLIT DRUM / TAMTAMOceania, Melanesia, Vanuatu, ca. early 20th century CE. A splendid and sizeable slit drum or tamtam, skillfully hand-carved from butterscotch-hued wood in the abstract form of a spirit or an ancestor. Presenting a columnar form, the fascinating instrument features a lengthy slit that stretches vertically down its center - hence its name - and leads to a central cavity. The drum is capped by the carefully carved head of a cassowary - a bird native to Vanuatu - displaying a high casque with a jagged periphery, huge, arched brows above annular eyes, a projecting, hooked beak, a pair of large, and teardrop-shaped wattles that fall below the head, onto the neck. A stippled pattern representing the bird's rough skin adorns the head and neck. Size: 15" in diameter x 95" H (38.1 cm x 241.3 cm); 96.5" H (245.1 cm) on included custom stand. Slit drums are traditionally carved by men in an area where females are not permitted. The most difficult and time-consuming process when carving is hollowing out the interior cavity of the drum via its narrow slit, which serves as the mouth of the particular spirit or ancestral group that the drum represents. Thus, the beating of the drum is believed to combine sounds from the World of the Living and the World of the Dead. When beaten, slit drums produce deep, sonorous tones that are used to communicate coded messages which are forwarded on and even sent from island to island. The drums are also beaten for ritual or festive performances. Their distinctive shape has made them iconic of Vanuatu as a whole, causing them to be represented on banknotes, featured in the tourism industry, and frequently found in museums around the world.

  VICTOR VASARELY, FRANCE / HUNGARY (1906 - 1997), THE TENNIS PLAYER, SERIGRAPH, 16"H X 12"W (SIGHT), 24"H X 20"W (FRAME)Victor Vasarely, France / Hungary, (1906 - 1997) The Tennis Player, serigraph pencil signed and numbered 80/200 lower margin. From AskArt: Victor Vasarely was born in Hungary in 1906, as Gyözö Vásárhelyi. He moved to Paris in 1930, where he worked successfully as a commercial graphic artist. All the while, he was researching the optical and emotional opportunities of several different graphical methods. He came to the result that geometrical means can create sensual perceptions that convey new ideas about space, matter and energy. He created an independent geometric abstraction whose variations lead to image patterns with kinetic effects. The artist arranged a wattle of geometric forms in bright colors so that the eye perceives it as a fluctuating movement. Vasarely had a huge influence on the Op art, and is sometimes even named as one of its founders. He participated regularly in the documenta between 1955 and 1968, and designed the official logo for the XX. Olympics in Munich. The Vasarely Museum, established in 1976, can be found in his city of birth, Pécs. A second one, opened in 1987, is located in the castle Zichy in Budapest. Victor Vasarely died in 1997, in Paris. serigraph Dimensions: 16"H x 12"W (sight), 24"H x 20"W (frame)
