African art From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Yoruba bronze head sculpture, Ife, Nigeria c. 12th century A.D. Makonde carving c.1974 Velours from Kasai A sculpture in ebony Another carving in ebony African art constitutes one of the most diverse legacies on earth. Though many casual observers tend to generalize "traditional" African art, the continent is full of peoples, societies, and civilizations, each with a unique visual special culture. The definition also includes the art of the African diasporas , such as the art of African Americans . Despite this diversity, there are some unifying artistic themes when considering the totality of the visual culture from the continent of Africa. Emphasis on the human figure: The human figure is the primary subject matter for most African art. In historical periods involving trade between Africa and Europe, the introduction of the human body into existing European pottery and other art forms can reliably be taken as evidence of contact with African cultures. For example in the fifteenth century Portugal traded with the Sapi culture near the Ivory Coast in West Africa, who created elaborate ivory saltcellars that were hybrids of African and European designs, most notably in the addition of the human figure (the human figure typically did not appear in Portuguese saltcellars). Visual abstraction: African artworks tend to favor visual abstraction over naturalistic representation. This is because many African artworks, and generalize stylistic norms.

Linked Images The Bamana Peoples The 2,500,000 Bambara people, also called Bamana, form the largest ethnic group within Mali and occupy the central part of the country, in an area of savannah. They live principally from agriculture, with some subsidiary cattle rearing in the northern part of their territory. The Bambara people are predominantly animists, although recently the Muslim faith has been spreading among them. The Bambara kingdom was founded in the 17th century and reached its pinnacle between 176o, and 1787 during the reign of N'golo Diarra. N'golo Diarra is credited with conquering the Peul people and in turn claimed the cities of Dienne and Timbuktu. However, during the 19th century, the kingdom began to decline and ultimately fell to the French when they arrived in 1892. For the most part, Bambara society is structured around six male societies, known as the Dyow (sing. Dyo). The stylistic variations in Bambara art are extreme sculptures, masks and headdresses display either stylized or realistic features, and either weathered or encrusted patinas. Until quite recently, the function of Bambara pieces was shrouded in mystery, but in the last twenty years field studies have revealed that certain types of figures and headdresses were associated with a number of the societies that structure Bambara life. During the 1970s a group of approximately twenty figures, masks and TjiWara headdresses belonging to the so-called 'Segou style' were identified. The style is distinct and recognizable by its typical flat faces, arrow-shaped noses, all-over body triangular scarifications and, on the figures, splayed hands.

Our masks and sculpture are older authentic pieces, and we have researched each one for its specific use and geography. Our collection of metal is extensive and holds many rare types of currency as well as unique status pieces. We have procured several pieces of lovely pottery from West Africa including cisterns, ancestor pieces and ceremonial pots. While many of our African pieces could be mistaken for modern art, they are in fact important testimonies to the craft and culture of each tribe.

14. AXIS GALLERY / AFRICAN ART / XHOSA / CLICKS African Art. Illuminated Signs Style and Meaning in the Beadwork of the Xhosa and Zulu-speaking Peoples By Gary van Wyk This article was first published, http://www.axisgallery.com/african_art/illuminated-signs/intro.html

Illuminated Signs: Style and Meaning in the Beadwork of the Xhosa- and Zulu-speaking Peoples By Gary van Wyk This article was first published, with footnotes that are omitted here, in African Arts , vol. 36:3 (Autumn 2003), pp. 12-33, 93-94. For citation purposes, please note that figure numbers, placement, and captions have been altered here. PART 2: XHOSA BEADWORK 1. Detail of Nongoma apron, ca. 1960, worn by married men and unmarried women. Photo: Gary van Wyk, Axis Gallery. The beadwork of the Xhosa- and Zulu-speaking peoples holds painterly appeals. Color and composition combine-usually without the obviousness of figuration. No big genitals, no halos; neither Madonnas nor elephants. Sculpt an elephant, it remains attached to its signified: that leviathan. But a blue rectangle or red brushstroke has no lexical translation. It takes a braver sensitivity to admire what escapes us than what we recognize, and a subtler one to glean meanings. Today, in "the West"-a label that globalization is dissolving-the rhythm of pattern remains less art than craft, still of a lower class. "Decorative." Elsewhere, though, such repetition sounds the music of the spheres. It echoes the spiritual realm like a meditational chant, reflects it like a mandala. It is religious art. Just as Modern artists appropriated "primitive" sculpture to break the mold of Western art, so too they pillaged non-Western performance arts and two-dimensional traditions, evacuating their sacredness. Though a string of Western painters, from Paul Klee to Sean Scully, say, have drawn "inspiration" from non-Western graphic arts, their sources remain inadequately appreciated in their own right today. To appraise them anew, perhaps we must borrow the eyes of those who have borrowed from them; pause a moment to consider abstraction in the abstract.
