Duality and Beauty :: Africana :: African Art meets Geometry

 

 

 

" Duality and Beauty :: Africana "

 

      The current selection of statues, masks and objects from West-Africa and from Central Africa are forming the core exhibits of the "Africana" room.

 

      The main theme of the African Collection is called " African Art meets Geometry ". This theme shall guide the interested visitor towards the underlying design concepts of the statues and masks.

 

      Featured artists: Masters of the Lobi (Burkina Faso), Bamana (Mali), Ife (Nigeria), Baulé (Cote D'Ivoire), ...

 

      Style: In the majority of cases, these objects arise out of a very dedicated simple geometric shape, which is dominating the whole design.

 

      The DUALITY constitutes in many of the displayed objects either a couple or a pair or "two of a kind", allowing the visitor to not only study the very specifics of this Native Art, but also to compare between two or more variants designed in the same artistic context.
