Africa's influence on western and modern art As a definative referance to support the information we provide here we suggest the following book... A History of Art in Africa A groundbreaking work, this is the first book to cover the arts of the entire continent of Africa, including Egypt, and to survey the art history, rather than the cultural traditions, of African peoples. The authors' unique synthesis of up-to-date research on African arts of many periods and geographic areas has resulted in a major contribution to the literature of art history. Thousands of years of African art, from prehistory to the present, are considered, encompassing sculpture, painting, architecture, textiles, ceramics, and the myriad art forms of personal adornment and performance. Individual authors contribute chapters on their areas of expertise, yet the whole volume works as a seamless text, weaving together everything from prehistoric Saharan rock art to contemporary sculpture, including the rich, multi-faceted art of the African diaspora.

Click Here for the Complete African Art Catalog and Free Shipping Information, or Click here to see some featured items Click here to see our Masters' ... section African Art Traditional and Abstract Stone Carvings African art sculpture portraying animals and people in both realistic and abstract form. The pieces are all one of a kind, carved using different types of stone such as serpentine, verdite, springstone, African butter jade and rapoko, an African term for soapstone used by indigenous carvers throughout the world. The term rapoko is believed to have originated among the Shona artists of Zimbabwe, where it derived from the stone's common resemblance to the roasted millet consumed by a majority of that country's indigenous inhabitants. All of the different stones can be found in colors varying through black; wide shades of brown; varying shades of green, lightening almost to white; and occasionally brilliant orange and golden shades. We have an abiding love for the southern part of Africa: its people, its customs, its wildlife that exists freely within its remaining beautiful open spaces. We are particularly fond of African art as represented in the beautiful stone carvings that we offer here for your examination and possible purchase. The sculptures shown in this catalog are representative of those which we import on a regular basis, utilizing both air and sea transport.

Contemporary African Art The Merka Art Gallery Please feel free to sign the guestbook and tell me what you think of my art! Welcome to this Gallery and thank you for dropping by.. My name is Mohamed Buwe Osman, a native of Merka Somalia-an ancient historical town known for its beautiful white sandy beaches and stunningly colorful orange dunes- images that are reflected in most of my paintings. Africa gave me the blessing of exposure to the inspiring world of contemporary art. While attending Medical School in Europe, the beautiful culture nourished my curiosity about Classical Art. North America, being an immigrant, widely opened its window of endless opportunities of enjoying not only the practice of medicine but as well as Art. My paintings are reflective memories of my rich, diverse and adventureous experiences of life. The images shown on my webpage reflect deep emotionally and psychologically captive difficult to express in words concepts and wisdom of life. My daily care of patients inspires me. It teaches me everyday the true meaning of life, the gift of living and being surrounded by beautiful people, the joy of re discovering the omnipotent non replicable Divine Art- Creation of the Universe.. Thank you and feel free to contact me any time.

The people make animal masks to enlist the power of the spirits who live in the forests, bush country, and rivers surrounding their villages. The masks make the spirits visible to them and put them in touch with the people. The masks depict spirits associated with powerful animals such as buffalo, antelopes, hawks, and fish. The masks are owned by families and clans who use the mask to protect them. The zig zag lines on the face of the Hawk signify the "path of ancestors", a moral path that is very difficult, but one every Nunuma (Bobo /Nuna) must follow to succeed in life. The dancing with masks on market days and at funerals and initiation ceremonies honors the spirits and brings blessings.

A frican art - Ceremonial sculpture masks , and crafts produced by African tribal cultures , as well as by the African cultures of colonial and post-colonial periods. Generally African art means sub-Saharan art, with the cultures of Africa's northern parts typically referred to as Egyptian and North African. Making generalizations about the visual culture of any group of people is a crude endeavor, especially with a culture as diverse as Africa's. With this thought in mind, know that this survey, as any must be, is tremendously limited in its breadth and depth.

38. African Art: Masking Because they are worn by people and intimately linked to the human body, African masks are mobile in their indigenous settings. http://community.middlebury.edu/~atherton/masking.html

Masking refers to a broad spectrum of ceremonies and beliefs that have traditionally been practiced in Africa and other parts of the world. To wear a mask and its associated vestment was to conceal one's own identity in the guise of another. Whether this other was a spirit, ancestor, or another person-either revered or feared-the ceremony in which the masked performer participated marked a time of transition, when otherworldly powers were invoked to aid in human affairs. Masks played especially important roles in initiation and funerary rites, as markers of transition when the connections between this world and another were particularly strong. At such times humans sought to reaffirm the order of their society by reference to their beliefs and values exemplified by the masks. On this basis the mask carried the authority demanded by the occasion. In our society, for the most part, there are no restrictions on who may wear a mask or what they may masquerade as. But in other cultures this is not the case. In traditional Africa, in general, only men wore masks, although the mask itself could be male or female. If permitted to see the masks at all, even in public appearances, women were required to keep at a safe distance, since masks were considered dangerous to them. And only men-specialist carvers, blacksmiths, farmers, or ritual specialists-could make masks. Masks were worn in three different ways: as face masks, vertically covering the face; as helmets, encasing the entire head; and as crests, resting upon the head, which was commonly covered by a pliable, transparent material as part of the disguise. Examples of these three mask types are included here.
