Art is a product of human creativity. It is a creation of beautiful and significant things. There are different arts in different countries. One of the famous arts among all is the African art
Traditional African art is often unusual and abstract. Sculptures of human figures may have out of proportion elements such as an over-sized head coupled with a tiny body form. To understand the art, it must be remembered that the majority was made for religious purposes. The artist was not interested in the beauty of the subject in a Western European sense but instead the work would have a deeper meaning that was based on a religious belief.
The most important aspect to the work would be the artists ability to bring a life-force into the sculpture that came direct from God. In this way the spirits of the ancestors could occupy the statues and only then would the artist have created a successful sculpture
African Art has had a considerable influence on Western Art. Most notable would be the work of Picasso. The inspiration of African masks and sculptures and the shapes partly inspired ‘cubism’ and other abstract art forms.
African arts are very famous that many people wanted to keep at least one art in their home and it captures the attention of the guests. Africa is known as a land having many cultures and traditions and comprises of various villages and tiny towns with people who belong to varying clans and tribes. This is the reason we find several arts evolving according to the regional and cultural variations. Generally poor people make art and sale them for their livelihood. This is why we notice more sales of African art paintings.
