Titolo di vendita : Prominent Nigerian artist Prince Twins Seven Seven was described by folklorist Henry Glassie as the great modernist of the Yoruba tradition. Previously working as a dancer and singer, Twins' impressive artistic ability was recognised during his participation in the Oshogbo workshop of 1964. There he began producing the fantastical paintings depicting Yoruba legends and imagined animals for which he has become known worldwide. Twins' early work was mostly made with inks on paper, then, from the 1970s he began to paint using oils on wood board with raised low-relief elements, as is exemplified in The Hunter. There have been a number of significant markers in Twins career: in 1989 his work was included in Magicens de la Terre, Pompidou Center, Paris and in 2000 his work was featured in exhibitions at the Indianapolis Museum of Art and Smithsonian National Museum of Modern Art. All three museums have collected Twins' work. In 2005 Twins was named one of UNESCO's Artists for Peace. BIBLIOGRAPHY: Glassie, H.
