"Africa Meets Africa: from the Museum voor Volkenkunde in Rotterdam"
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.
