Meditations on African Art: Color

April 18–August 19, 2007

Free exhibition
10 Art Museum Drive
Baltimore, MD 21218-3898

Overview: 

Exhibition explores the symbolism of the red, black and white in African art.

The second in a three-part series exploring light, color, and pattern in the BMA’s distinguished collection of African art, Meditations on African Art: Colors is the first exhibition of its kind to explore the symbolism of the African color trinity of red, black, and white. The exhibition showcases 30 rarely seen masks from the BMA’s collection, grouped by color on the gallery walls along with a display of tri-color masks in the center of the gallery, and a site-specific installation by Tunisian-born Swiss artist Fatma Charfi.

This exhibition is curated by Karen Milbourne, BMA Associate Curator of the Arts of Africa, Asia, the Americas & Pacific Islands.
The Meditations series is generously sponsored by Polk Audio, Matthew Polk and Amy Gould.

Highlights of the collection include an early 20th-century portrait of a woman by acclaimed Liberian carvers Zlan and Sonzanlwon and several figures by the legendary brasscaster Ldamie. Recent acquisitions include a Lozi throne (c.1900) most likely carved in the court of Lozi King Lewanika of western Zambia, a 20th-century Hausa Koranic prayer board, and Theo Eshetu’s contemporary light-based video work.
