Complete Cornet Collection comes to Loyola
Loyola has received the life work of Frere Joseph-Aurélien Cornet, one of the foremost experts on the art of the Congo. Cornet studied indigenous art, music, and ethnography in what is now known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Included in the archives are as many as 150 field notebooks and 20,000 photographs. Cornet's work is considered on of the most important African visual archives in the world. Members of the African Studies Association, which will meet in New Orleans Nov. 11-14, 2004, may visit Loyola to view the archives.
