Masquerade, metalwork, necklaces,
sculpture, architecture, fiber art, and dance are important art forms
across Africa and may be included in the study of African art. The term
"African art" does not usually include the art of the North African
areas along the Mediterranean coast, as such areas had long been part
of different traditions. For more than a millennium, the art of such
areas had formed part of Islamic art, although with many particular
characteristics. The art of Ethiopia, with a long Christian tradition,
is also different from that of most of Africa, where traditional
African religion (with Islam in the north) was dominant until
relatively recently. African art includes ancient art, Muslim art of
North and West Africa, the Christian art of East Africa, and the
ritualistic art of these and other regions. Most African sculpture was
historically in wood and other natural materials that have not survived
from earlier than, at most, a few centuries ago; older pottery figures
can be found from a number of areas. Masks are important elements in
the art of many peoples, along with human figures, often highly
stylized. There is a vast variety of styles, often varying within the
same context of origin depending on the use of the object, but wide
regional trends are apparent; sculpture is most common among "groups of
settled cultivators in the areas drained by the Niger and Congo rivers"
in West Africa. Direct images of deities are relatively infrequent, but
masks in particular are or were often made for religious ceremonies;
today many are made for tourists as "airport art". Since the late 19th
century there has been an increasing amount of African art in Western
collections, the finest pieces of which are now prominently displayed.
African art
describes the modern
and historical paintings, sculptures, installations, and other visual
culture from native or indigenous Africans and the African continent.
The definition may also include the art of the native African, African
diasporas, such as African American, Caribbean
and other American art.
Despite this diversity, there are some unifying artistic themes when
considering the
totality of the visual culture from the continent of
Africa.
