African Arts and Artists
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- About
- Durban is a city of heat and colour, a cultural melting pot that produces some of the finest, most exciting artists and art that South Africa has to offer. With a strong Indian influence, this birthplace of the Zulus (a name which means ‘the heavens’) has an intangible vibrancy that expresses itself in the abundant forms of art.
- Bought in the heart of the city, where traditional healers selling monkey skulls rub shoulders with fruit sellers on the side of the road, each of these artworks is infused with that something African that gets into your blood. Zululand, just outside Durban, is ‘a land called heaven’, and it is from here that many of the artists hail, coming into the city to sell their wares.
