Explore Ethnographica Ethnographica Entrance ETHNOGRAPHICA is a place to explore the tribal arts of Africa and the great tradition of hand-knotted carpets and textiles of the Orient. Like many other arts with folk or religious origins, oriental carpets and African art appear to transcend their utilitarian function. At their best they display some of the overriding qualities of all great art an aesthetic power and a dynamic expression of the cultures which produced them. Objects of extraordinary beauty were, and in some instances, are still being produced by so-called primitive peoples. It is the creative force and vitality found in these works that fascinates the casual viewer and gives immeasurable pleasure to the seasoned collector. This is art in a pure form, art that provides a glimpse into the lives, traditions, and cultures of peoples that are fast changing as western technologies and lifestyes are adopted. Ethnographica is proud to share some of the rare and extraordinary objects held in museums as well as fine pieces held privately. Bookmark this page

VIEW IMAGE LIST "In the 19th and 20th centuries, African art was 'discovered' by Western colonizers and embraced by modernist artists for its lack of pretension and exciting formal qualities. With the Westernization of much African society, 'traditional' art has become commercialized and sold as souvenirs, while from the 1920s, the growth of African art colleges in more modernized sections of Africa has led a number of African artists to adopt western influences in their work." - From "The Bulfinch Guide to Art History" Buy African Art posters online Click here! ...
