1999-08-03 until 1999-12-12
South African National Gallery
Capetown, , ZA South Africa

Visitors will be afforded the opportunity of viewing contemporary expressions of art against the background of the artistic tradition from which they have sprung. The exhibition has been curated by award-winning anthropologist Erna Beumers. Over 100 great works from western, central and southern Africa will be on show. The rarity and aesthetic qualities of the works reflect a century of African creativity and craftsmanship. There is a significant southern African component to the exhibition, composing superb examples of wood-carving and textile art. Masizi Kunene, Karel Nel and Elza Miles, among others, have contributed to the catalogue. Guided Tour of Africa Meets Africa - Wednesday, 1 September 1999 at 13:05
