A history of the evolving field of African art. This book examines the invention and development of African art as an art historical category. It starts with a simple question: What do we mean when we talk about African art? By confronting the historically shifting answers to this question, Peter Probst identifies “African art” as a conceptual vessel that manifests wider societal transformations. What Is African Art? covers three key stages in the field’s history. Starting with the late nineteenth through the mid-twentieth centuries, the book first discusses the colonial formation of the field by focusing on the role of museums, collectors, and photography in disseminating visual cultures as relations of power. It then explores the remaking of the field at the dawn of African independence with the shift toward contemporary art and the rise of Black Atlantic studies in the 1970s and 1980s. Finally, it examines the post- and decolonial reconfiguration of the field driven by questions of representation, repair, and restitution.

The art of sub-Saharan Africa reveals the marvelous achievements of unknown artists over thousands of years. Their aesthetic ideal finds form in wood, ivory, fabric, bronze and iron. This illustrated study of traditional African art includes pieces from Western Sudan, the Congolese Basin, the Guinea coast, Gabon, the Democratic Republic of Congo and East and South Africa. Each piece is characterized by its own traditions and artistic forms. The earliest works date from the beginning of the first millennium, the most recent from the early 20th century. Unique and rare examples are documented, many heretofore virtually unknown.

African Art invites you to explore the dynamic origins of the vast artistic expressions arising from the exotic and mystifying African continent. Since the discovery of African art at the end of the nineteenth century during the colonial expositions it has been a limitless source of inspiration for artists who, over time, have perpetually recreated these artworks. The power of Sub-Saharan African art lies within its visual diversity, demonstrating the creativity of the artists who are continuing to conceptualize new stylistic forms. From Mauritania to South Africa and from the Ivory Coast to Somalia, statues, masks, jewelry, pottery and tapestries compose a variety of daily and ritual objects springing from these richly varied societies.

This captivating book offers an in-depth exploration of the profound relationship between dance, art, and objects in African culture, focusing on the ways in which movement breathes life into static forms. In many parts of Africa, dance extends beyond the human body, uniting with everyday objects such as spinning tops and cutlasses, transforming them into vibrant, autonomous works of art. The Tiv people of Nigeria exemplify this philosophy, where the motion of a spinning top or a twirling blade is imbued with the same artistic essence as human dance. This broader conception of dance highlights a fundamental principle in African art—the fusion of movement, form, and life. Motion, in this context, is not just a performance but a bridge to sacred realms, where the aliveness of an image or object is essential for it to function as a work of art. The book further delves into the unity of African art forms, where sculpture, dance, music, and visual objects are all intertwined, creating a holistic aesthetic experience. Famous examples, such as the Basinjom mask of Cameroon, illustrate how art maintains its vitality even in stillness, requiring ceremonial practices to anchor its powerful presence. The author explores how these performances and objects combine, not only to enhance the visual brilliance of the art but also to create metaphors for ethical and spiritual existence. This seamless integration of the arts provides a rich framework for understanding the icons of African culture—attitudes of the body like standing, sitting, and balancing, which transcend time, evoking themes of stability, flexibility, and balance. Through this lens, the book offers a journey into the timeless, poetic world of African danced art, where physical movement and artistic expression unite to reveal deeper truths about life and spirit.
