Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | African art has boomed in recent years. It reflects the self-awareness of the continent as a whole and the way African artists look at their personal surroundings and their position in the world. In the past five years Carla and Pieter Schulting acquired a large collection of paintings - supplemented by some sculptures and photographs - from all parts of Africa, giving a nice insight into the current development of African painting. Many of the artists in the collection have themselves or their immediate surroundings as a subject, using portraiture, genre scenes and abstraction to convey their message. On display are works by 154 different artists from 33 African countries. Cores are formed by artists from South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon, East Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia) and North Africa. Although never complete, the collection gives a layered picture of how African artists reflect on their self-image and how their imagination radiates to the whole world |
