African Art invites you to explore the dynamic origins of the vast artistic
expressions arising from the exotic and mystifying African continent. Since
the discovery of African art at the end of the nineteenth century during the
colonial expositions it has been a limitless source of inspiration for artists
who, over time, have perpetually recreated these artworks. The power of Sub-
Saharan African art lies within its visual diversity, demonstrating the
creativity of the artists who are continuing to conceptualize new stylistic
forms. From Mauritania to South Africa and from the Ivory Coast to Somalia,
statues, masks, jewelry, pottery and tapestries compose a variety of daily and
ritual objects springing from these richly varied societies.
