From the 1880s to 1940, French colonial officials, businessmen and soldiers, returning from overseas postings, brought home wooden masks and figures from Africa. This imperial and cultural power-play is the jumping-off point for a story that travels from sub-Saharan Africa to Parisian art galleries; from the pages of fashion magazines, through the doors of the Louvre, to world fairs and international auction rooms; into the apartments of avant-garde critics and poets; to the streets of Harlem, and then full-circle back to colonial museums and schools in Dakar, Bamako, and Abidjan. John Warne Monroe guides us on this journey, one that goes far beyond the world of Picasso, Matisse, and Braque, to show how the Modernist avant-garde and the European colonial project influenced each other in profound and unexpected ways. Metropolitan Fetish reveals the complex trajectory of African material culture in the West and provides a map of that passage, tracing the interaction of cultural and imperial power. A broad and far-reaching history of the French reception of African art, it brings to life an era in which the aesthetic category of "primitive art" was invented.

As the leading figure of the Arts and Crafts movement, designer William Morris (British, 1834-1896) believed beauty, imagination, and order were the necessary components of a strong design.

Certain to add style and charm to any desk space, our elegant paperweight features one of the designer's most iconic patterns, Strawberry Thief (design registered 1883, printed 1917-23).

An art scarf inspired by The Met collection. In the early 19th century, luxurious shawls from Kashmir became indispensable fashion accessories for the stylish European woman. The patterns on these costly, hand-woven shawls generally incorporated the boteh form, an ancient Persian motif based on the tree of life. By the midcentury, machine-made reproductions were being produced with popularity in Europe. Paisley, which is derived from the boteh design, gets its name from the Scottish town that produced many of these shawls until they fell out of favor in the 1870s. A mid-19th-century French or Scottish example in The Met collection, presenting a "four seasons" layout swirling around a central point, informs our stylish wool interpretation with self-fringe edges.

Unique gifts for her. These stylish hoops borrow the Herakles knot on a 2nd-century bracelet from Egypt in The Met collection.

Because of its affiliation with Herakles, celebrated for his strength and bravery, the knot was considered a protective amulet. It also assumed association with marriage and fertility. The Herakles knot remained a popular ornamental form into Roman times, as exemplified by the Museum's Roman-period bracelet.

Art jewelry inspired by The Met collection. The celestial motifs defining this brooch are adapted from a type of print called a broadside depicting 48 allegorical figures pertaining to the sun and the moon. The original, now in The Met collection, was printed about 1860-70 by Juan Llorens (Spanish, active ca. 1855-70), an active publisher of broadsides in Barcelona. Broadsides were issued by the thousands and sold on the street or in publishers' shops beginning in 16th-century Europe. These inexpensive sheets of small images, made to entertain the buyer with depictions of current news, children's games, popular tales, and so on, were so well received that certain printing presses made them their specialty. Many early broadsides have been lost due to their ephemeral nature, but numerous others survive in The Met collection. Click
