The Four Moments of the Sun

Kongo Art in Two Worlds

by Robert Farris Thompson and Joseph Cornet

The catalogue of a National Gallery of Art exhibition that presented Kongo sculpture, minkisi and funerary art alongside their echoes in the Americas. It introduced the Kongo cosmogram and the four moments of the sun to a wide audience and remains influential, though some of its claims are debated.
