A Proud Heritage Comes Alive

The history of African art lends itself to the richness of modern-day treasures. Out of the mists of time come works with legendary mystical significance. Recorded evidence of early beginnings still remains in carvings that date back 6000 years!

The overflowing abundance of nature lent itself beautifully to creative expressions of animals, plants and the human figure. Over time, these forms evolved with innovations in terracotta, bronze and brass. Further ornamentation with ivory and precious stones were reserved for the royal court.

The last century has increased awareness of African art outside the continent. Its emotional and psychological depths have enriched and inspired Western Art and engendered a love worldwide!

Discover The 5 Elements Of African Art

A basic means of classification consists of listing the five elements that best describe the art's intuitive, religious and aesthetic value to the peoples of various African regions. They are as:

1. Likeness to a human figure to better convey thoughts about reality or spirituality.
2. Radiant and luminous finish to represent shiny and flawless skin, hence beauty and moral purity.
3. Representation of youthfulness portraying vitality, fertility and all the goodness of life.
4. Reserved demeanor expresses being in complete control, behaving in a measured and rational way.
5. Balance, symmetry and proportion, all of the utmost importance, are achieved through the choice of material.

These five elements are the embodiment of the qualities instilled in each piece by artists in order to connect with the visible and invisible aspects of the world around them.

Though nothing can ever fully capture the full meaning and purpose of all works, the five elements come closest to evaluating the sensory and emotional values inherent in this powerful medium.
