Description: Extensive collection of images and information from the San Francisco museum.
In the first decades of the twentieth century, prestigious European artists like Picasso, Derain, and Matisse revolutionized the art world by “discovering” African art, which formed a basis for Cubism and other avant-garde artistic styles. The aesthetics of African art—its bold forms, intense expressionistic aesthetic, and strong sculptural qualities—shook the art world and changed it forever, though few Westerners at that time recognized the complexity of African cultures or knew much about what these objects meant to the peoples who made them.
