Origins and History
Contemporary South African artists have a rich history of creating original artworks that reflect their culture, history, and society. The origins of this art can be traced back to the early 20th century, when artists began to assert their independence from European influences and develop a uniquely African aesthetic. This movement, known as the "New African Art," was characterized by an emphasis on traditional African motifs and a rejection of Western art conventions. Over the years, South African artists have continued to innovate and experiment with new styles, techniques, and mediums. Important dates and periods in the history of South African art include the 1960s and 1970s, when artists began to create works that challenged the apartheid system and explored themes of identity and resistance. Today, South African art is celebrated around the world for its diversity, creativity, and vitality.
