Daniel P. Biebuyck (born 1925) is a leading authority on central African art with pioneering contributions to contextual African art studies. ==Biography== Biebuyck was born in 1925 in Deinze, Belgium. He studied classical philology, law and ethnography, African art at Ghent University, and social anthropology at University College London. Under the auspices of the ''Institut pour la Recherche Scientifique en Afrique central'' (IRSAC), he was involved in field research from 1949–1961 among ethnic groups in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He studied the Lega, Bembe, Zoba and Nyanga peoples. Biebuyck was initiated into one of the higher grades of the bwami society of the Lega people. Most of what is known about the Lega is due to his studies between 1951 and 1953, in 1954 and in 1957, and his later publications. As a member of the land tenure commission for the Belgian Congo (1957–1961), he conducted brief field research among over 40 different populations where he studied questions pertaining to the relationships between sociopolitical structures and land tenure. Biebuyck retired from the University of Delaware as H. Rodney Sharp Professor of Anthropology and the Humanities. As professor or visiting professor, he taught cultural and social anthropology, African art, and oral literature at the Universities of Lovanium (Kinshasa), Liège, and London. He also taught at UCLA, Yale, NYU. In 1990-93, he was the Golding Distinguished Professor of African art at the University of South Florida (Tampa). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daniel P.
