Détails
Provenance : The above work exhibits the concept of Natural Synthesis as was set forth by members of the Zaria Art Society. They called for the merging of the best of Western and Nigerian traditions, forms and ideas into a hybrid art-making practice and conceptual framework. The concept was developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s alongside a gathering momentum towards independence in search of a modern art that would suit the new nation. Here Nwoko following his study of scenography and theatre design in Japan in the early 1960s, has flattened the spare composition in the tradition of the Japanese Ikebana floral arrangements.
