"What became
of the Black People of Summer?"
the traveler asked the old man, "for ancient records
show that the people of Summer were Black.
"What happened to them?"
"Ah," the old man sighed.
"They lost their history, so they died."

L'art premier
de l'Afrique,
l'art de la negritude
plonge ses racines dans les peintures du Tassili
et de quelques autres regions du continent:
l'essence primordiale du masque,
les canons de la statuaire
ou le gout pour la palette coloree
apparaissent deja dans la periode des tetes rondes,
il y a plus de 10 000 ans. |

When they say,
for example, that I'm copying Kafka...
No, on the contrary, may be it's Kafka
who's copying us? Kafka is copying Africa without
knowing it.

J.
D. Bernal in an article "Art and the Scientist" in Circle: International
review of Constructive Art, 1938: "… Classical Art knew only the simplest
bilateral symmetry. Modern Art, on the other hand, whilst ostensibly
rejecting symmetry altogether is effectively reintroducing it in more
complex forms. These forms have been known, but outside the classical
tradition, particularly in the art of savage races, where the sense
of rhythm is far more highly developed… By altering the scale a far
large number of internal harmonies, depending essentially on symmetry,
can be introduced. Some of the more abstract artists have produced
intuitively many of these complex rhythms. Architecture in particular
gives great opportunities for symmetrical rhythms."
