Description

The role of the workshop in the creation of African art is the subject of this revelatory book. In the group setting of the workshop; innovation and imitation collide; artists share ideas and techniques; and creative expression flourishes. African Art and Agency in the Workshop examines the variety of workshops; from those which are politically driven or tourist oriented; to those based on historical patronage or allied to current artistic trends. Fifteen lively essays explore the impact of the workshop on the production of artists such as Zimbabwean stone sculptors; master potters from Cameroon; wood carvers from Nigeria; and others from across the continent.
