=====Introduction to the History of Classical African Art===== | |||
[https://selvajournal.org/article/classical-african-art/ by SELVA] | |||
Various recent scientific methods have allowed us to obtain data useful for constructing a true history of African art. In order to describe the evolution of classical African art, some scholars have favored tribal classification, others a historical approach, and others, finally, functional analysis. William Fagg (1964) claims that in Africa, at an artistic level, each tribe makes up its own closed universe; its horizon stops at its own borders.[2] These are, he says, discrete and exclusive groups; for them, art expresses their internal solidarity and their autonomy, and in turn distinguishing them from each other. | |||
