Show Exhibitions/Membership DAVID SCHWARZ: BLOWN-GLASS SCULPTURE January 15 to March 29, 1988 Beatrice M. Hansen Gallery David Schwarz is a Washington State native who specializes in blown-glass globes which have architectural elements cut and etched across the surface. The Seattle limes describes Schwarz as "one of the most gifted young glassworkers in the country. His work bears kinship to pottery, to sculpture and to etching. It is one of the beauties of glass that it can be transparent or opaque, that it is both liquid and solid, that it can be painted on, etched, and be made heavy or light." Mask Cameroon, Duala Wood, Paint, Iron 70 cm high This mask in the form of a buffalo head is one of the typical precolonial art manifestations of the Dualo of the coastal forest zone of Cameroon. Knowledge regarding the function and meaning of the imagery of these masks derives mainly from turn-of-the-century missionary accounts. The mask was part of the paraphernalia of secret societies or cult associations collectively known as Losang. These societies served primarily to initiate male youths into the norms of social and moral behavior. MEMBERS ONLY LECTURE SERIES Continuing the series started last year, four new lectures will be offered in the Museum galleries for "Members only." All members of the Museum are invited to attend the lectures which will focus on objects in the permanent collection.
