Artists, schools and individual visions
Modern African art encompasses distinct histories, rather than a single style or a fixed date range. These works can be explored through the artists' biographies and the schools, workshops and cultural settings in which their practices developed.
Our wider collection continues into contemporary African art, bringing earlier artistic generations into conversation with artists working today.
