- Additional information
- The output comprises two chapters, both sole-authored by Weikop, and both published in the volume The Image of the Black in Western Art. The Twentieth Century: The Impact of Africa (eds. David Bindman and Henry Louis Gates, Jr.), Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts (W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and American Research), 2014. The first chapter (16,116 words), ‘Encounters with the Image of the Black: The German and French Avant-Garde (1905-1920)’, counters established claims that have interpreted the 'discovery' of African art by the European avant-garde as a Paris-based phenomenon. The second chapter, (7,800 words) ‘Afrophilia and Afrophobia in Switzerland and Germany (1916-1938)’, extends this analysis to explore the Dadaist response to African tribal art and the National Socialist rejection of the avant-garde response to African and South Seas cultures.
