Questions About Rare African Art
  • What is African art?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    African art is painting, sculptures, masks or installations that originate from the African continent. Masquerade, metalwork, sculpture, architecture, fiber art and dance are particularly popular artistic expressions in Africa. Many of these art forms are defined by expressive individualism, an emphasis on the human figure and visual abstraction.
  • What are some characteristics of African art?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    One of the key characteristics of African art is that it tends to emphasize emotion over realism, so pieces often don't closely resemble their animal or human subjects. In addition, traditional African artists tend to work in three-dimensional formats like sculptures rather than painting or drawing. Also, many pieces have a spiritual meaning to the creators and their cultures. On 1stDibs, shop a range of African art from some of the world's top sellers.
  • What is African art called?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021
    African art is simply called African art. Sculpture, pottery, painting, rock art and other works of visual art native to Africa all fall under the umbrella of African art (performance art that originates in Africa will also be called African art). On 1stDibs, there is an exquisite range of African art to choose from.
  • What is traditional African wooden art?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    Traditional African wooden art is a term that describes pieces made by artists in Africa using techniques that have been passed down through generations. Examples include masks, figurines and sculptures depicting human and animal figures. Find a collection of traditional African art on 1stDibs.
  • What are carved wood figures in African art?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Carved African wood figurines were typically spiritual in nature and were primarily in human form. The wood figurines were carved using ebony, teak, mahogany and iron wood. On 1stDibs, find a collection of authentic African wood figurines from some of the world’s top sellers.
