These 29 essays offer a wealth of analytical approaches, particularly those relating to African epistemologies and postcolonial theory. They cover nineteenth century photography in Liberia, early twentieth century debates on the arts in Egypt, pan-Africanism and art education in Ghana, Uganda and Senegal, revolutionary painting in Algeria and Côte d'Ivoire, and African patronage of North Korean design firms, among many other topics. This collection showcases the richness and variety of the continent's visual creativity and adds much to the theoretical debate in emerging studies of global modernism.
Offering a wealth of perspectives on African modern and Modernist art from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, this new Companion features essays by African, European, and North American authors who assess the work of individual artists as well as exploring broader themes such as discoveries of new technologies and globalization.
