If there is ever another Picasso, she will be an African
From today’s Guardian:
“This year’s African art exhibitions were meant to make us think again about the continent. But if admiring art was enough to change the world, Africa would have got justice long ago, says Jonathan Jones. He decided to go in search of the art that doesn’t get into galleries, but has real function in the lives of ordinary Africans “
I have to ask, why?
3,800 words meander across the page leaving me feeling like I have just been to a lecture by a social worker - not informed or challenged or excited or riled by an art critic. Maybe one of us hasn’t recovered from Christmas yet.
