ane. Introduction

African art: Almost a name
As modern African art differs then much from the art which predates it, there was need for a proper name to distinguish between them. But, what should we call the art that existed in Africa prior to modern art (and which all the same exists to a certain caste)? The proper name used most frequently is:primitive fine art. However, the term, coined in the nineteenth century by travellers to Africa, is becoming increasingly unpopular, as information technology is considered discriminating and derogatory. The termtraditional art is wrong, as it suggests that 'tradition' is a stable, static concept, and that African societies in the past have not experienced change or development. Another mutual name is:tribal art. The wordtribe was introduced to Africa past the colonial authorities in club to facilitate their authoritative direction of ethnic groups. While it may have served certain administrative purposes, information technology has non been a satisfactory name in terms of distinguishing between peoples who have different languages and cultures, yet are each others' neighbours and interact with each other. Perhaps a more suitable name for this type of art is: classic African art. The word 'classic' refers to a work of art of recognized and established value. Today, classic African art is recognized everywhere as world art and has a proven value, both aesthetically and as treasured collectors' items.

History
The confusion about the names is but one of a number of misunderstandings and stereotypes that originated in the nineteenth century and which accept persisted deep into the twentieth century: Africans have been described as uncivilized, exotic, sensual, primitive and wild. (Nederveen Pieterse 1992) Missionaries spoke of African religions as heathen and chosen their religious objects fetishes. Anthropologists causeless that for Africans all objects were imbued with living souls: the theory of animism. (Leyten 2015)
At the commencement of the twentieth century, a number of European artists (among them Picasso, Matisse, Derain and De Vlaminck) 'discovered' African masks and statues. They saw them every bit magical objects, as intermediaries between humans and the mysterious forces of evil, every bit tools that enabled man to free himself from all that threatened his beingness; but, primarily, they saw them every bit objects that inspired them to create new artistic forms (cubism, 'fauvism' (Paudrat 1984)).

In the first decades of the twentieth century, expeditions into the African hinterland were organized, specifically to study and collect art: well known among them are those past Leo Frobenius (Congo and Nigeria) (Kuba a.o. 2010), and Emil Torday (Congo).
From the 1930s onwards, scholars, anthropologists, ethnographers and art historians, began to do fieldwork in Africa. Melville Herskovits conducted fieldwork amid the Fon in Dahomey ( present solar day Bénin), Marcel Griaule amid the Dogon of Mali, and Hans Himmelheber amidst Guro and Baule in Republic of cote d'ivoire. Their fieldwork was halted by the Second World War. William Fagg, keeper of the Africa Department of the British Museum, has probably been the greatest stimulus for the appreciation of classic African art in the western world. All of them have published about their research. Much afterwards, after the independence of African countries, outset in the 1960s, a new generation of European scholars emerged. They full-bodied on a specific region, ethnic grouping or theme, and remained involved with it for many years. British scholars were especially active in Nigeria: John Henry Drewal (Yoruba), John Boston (Igbo), Kevin Carrol (Yoruba Religious etching), Philip Dark (Benin), Robin Horton (Kalabari), Keith Nicklin (Oron), C. Thurstan Shaw (archaeology of Igbo-Ukwu), William Bascom (Ifa Divination), and Frank Willet (Ife). Their publications grade the starting betoken for every study of Nigerian art and culture. (For an overview see: Susan Vogel (1991)).
Soon after, the study of African art was taken up by Africans of different scholarly disciplines. Among them are: Kyerematen, A.A.Y. (1964),  Ekpo Eyo (1977), Abiodun (1980), Jegede, Dele (1983), Salih Thou.Hassan (a.o. 2013), and Lawal (2012).

Books on classic African Art
Generally speaking, books on classic African art can be divided into three categories:

1. Publications on African art of a general nature, oftentimes entitled African Fine art. They try to give a geographical overview of 'tribes and styles'. This category has been very popular in the past decades. Well known authors are: Elsy Leuzinger, Joseph Cornet, Jacqueline Delange, William Fagg, and Frank Willett. The format of these books makes the contents necessarily superficial. The express number of pages made information technology impossible to do justice to the cultural wealth of African countries. Only 1 or ii fine art objects  relating to each 'tribe' or 'fashion' could be published. Thus, it narrowed the cultural heritage of a people down to a few arbitrary items.
2. Publications on themes within classic African art, such as architecture, textiles, symbols of chieftaincy, ornaments, weapons, religious objects, weights (e.g. gold weights) and others. Many of these books accept a thorough scholarly value, include high quality photographs, and are of interest to fellow academics and laypeople with an aesthetic gustatory modality.
3. More recently, publications on African fine art and cultures announced in monographs. They tend to concentrate on a particular culture or indigenous grouping, base themselves on fieldwork, and publish a much wider range of objects, both art objects and household objects, in their social, cultural or religious context. They besides talk over the artists themselves, which is a new trend, as previously African fine art was considered to exist anonymous. Some examples are: Joseph Cornet on the Kuba,  Francois Neyt on the Luba, Mary Nooter Roberts and Allen Roberts on the Luba, Eberhard Fischer on the Guro, Louis Perrois on the Fang, Susan Vogel on the Baule, Marie-Louise Bastin on the Tsokwe, Daniel Biebuick on the Lega, Jean-Paul Colleyn on the Bamana, Ruth Philips on the Mende, and Rogier Bedaux on the Dogon.

Illicit traffic in cultural belongings
With the spectacular growth in interest in classic African art, and the increase in sales of this art, an illegal market for precious objects of African art developed. Archaeological finds, such equally those from the Nok culture (Nigeria) and Djenne (Mali) fetch loftier prices in the western earth. In 1970, UNESCO promulgated the Convention for the protection of cultural heritage. It was designed to stop the illicit trafficking of cultural goods. (ICOM 2000; Leyten 1995; Renfrew 2000, Van Beurden 2001, 2012; Panella 2010) Nevertheless fierce opposition past art dealers and collectors, an increasing number of nations has ratified the convention in recent years. The return of stolen objects to Africa happens rarely.

Mod and contemporary African art
Modern art in Africa had a deadening start. If the colonial powers showed an interest in fine art and the training of artists at all, they taught talented African youngsters in European art and art history at bookish institutions, such as Kampala, Khartoum and Zaria.
Informal training was given past some colonial officers or European businessmen, sometimes at home. I of them was Pierre Romain Desfosses, a retired French navy officer who settled in Elisabethville (Lubumbashi) in 1944; some other was Pierre Lods who, in 1950, started the Poto-Poto workshop in Brazzaville (Greani 2012). In 1957, Frank McEwen, director of the newly opened National Gallery in Salisbury (Harare) encouraged his personnel to take upward painting, while tobacco farmer Tom Blomefield founded a sculptors' community at Tengenenge (Zimbabwe) (Leyten 1994). Later on Nigeria's independence in 1960, Ulli Beier organized summer schools at Oshogbo, which produced a good number of successful artists (Probst 2011). Amid them are Twins Seven Seven (Glassie 2010), Buraimoh, Olatunde, and Ogundele. Throughout Africa, artists surfaced  without formal or breezy preparation, who were able to develop their ain style and gain national and international recognition. Among them are Valente Malangatana (Mozambique), Middle Fine art (Nigeria) and Chéri Samba (Congo, Zaire). (Leyten a.o. 1980; Mount 1973; Willett 2003; Woets 2011).

Gimmicky African art
From the 1980s onwards, African art became mainstream in the western globe. Increasingly, museums opted for large and well published exhibitions of gimmicky African art. The outset international heave was given by Hubert Martin's exhibition Les magiciens de la terre in Paris, in 1989, and its accompanying catalogue. This was soon followed by André Magnin'due south exhibition Africa now in 1991, which was shown in several countries. (Magnin 1991)
André Magnin published his Gimmicky Fine art of Africa in 1996, producing an impressive listing of gimmicky African artists. (Magnin 1996) .
A major exhibition curated by an African, Simon Njani, was Afrika Remix, which was shown in several western countries in 2004-2005. (Njani 2004). The Museum Rietberg organized a travelling exhibition of archetype fine art from the Republic of cote d'ivoire in 2014 (Fischer a.o. 2014).

The Nigerian art historian and professor of African art, Okwui Enzewor, became the organizer of Documenta xi in 2002, and the Venice Biennale in 2015. (Enzewor 2002).
