Influences of African Art
African Art and Objects were accused of being ugly by the Victorians.
They viewed it as ‘an expression of primitive culture’ and work produced by ‘non-christian
heathens’. Views on African art started to change with artists from the 20th century such as Vlaminck,
Matisse, Braque and Picasso who were enlightened by the stylistic structure of
the African sculptures. However they didn’t know much about the artists who
created the work, nor were they interested in the motives behind it.
African Art has had its impact and use as a stepping stone in the development of later Movements including Fauvism, Cubism and Abstract Expressionism.
