Soul in Stone - Shona Sculptures
Meiringen From February 29, 2024 to February 28, 2025
Presentation
Shona sculpture, named after the most populous tribe in Zimbabwe, the "Shona" - another important tribe being the "Ndebele" - is probably the most important art form to emerge from Africa in the 20th century. This, after the Europeans had wrongly apostrophised African art as rather traditional, primitive and not very modern during the colonisation of Africa and in the decades thereafter. African art has had a lasting influence on European modernism, as have Matisse, Klee and Picasso. This also applies to sculpture. In 1988, the London Sunday Telegraph, when asked who was the most important sculptor after the death of Henry Moore, received the answer from experts that perhaps three artists would come into question: Joseph Ndandarika, Sylvester Mubayi and Nicholas Mukomberanwa. All three come from Zimbabwe!
