Painting a Life in Africa is the vibrant story of Joan van Gogh, who has lived an unusual and adventurous life close to nature - even making her home amidst ancient caves and under majestic trees that thrive in the heart of the untamed bush. As a direct descendant of legendary artist Vincent van Gogh and an artist herself, Joan wielded the adversities and trials she encountered as her very own brushes, painting a vivid and extraordinary existence: from being a city girl who adapted to roughing it, to exploring some of the most remote and secretive places in southern Africa. With artful descriptions and a sprinkle of humour, you will be immersed in the wonderful feeling of sleeping under wild and silent African skies and experience a wilderness with few fences and many friendly people. The story also touches on anthropology, archaeology, the fascinating customs of Africa's tribal heritage and is altogether a kaleidoscope of one life. Painting a Life in Africa paints a mesmerizing portrait of one woman's remarkable journey through a land teeming with wonder and uncharted horizons.

Nonfiction. In this pioneering work Olu Oguibe charts the life and career of Uzo Egonu, from his origins in Africa to his expatiation in Britain. Egonu, a remarkable, compassionate and very private artist, has been described as "perhaps Africa's greatest modern painter," one whose work challenges the impoverished Western myth of the naive African artist. The complexity of Egonu's work is firmly located within the tradition of modernism. What we see is a judicious synthesis of visual languages developed from his critical encounter with Western art and an informed awareness of his African heritage; a synthesis which reaches beyond mere formalist concerns to involve both the experience of his life in the West and the painful turmoils of his country of origin, post-colonial Nigeria. This monograph is a timely intervention in the prevailing debates on the role, position and aesthetic concerns of the African artist in the contemporary world, and offers a unique contribution to the scarce literature on artists of African, Asian or Latin American origin living in the West.

In Africa, women's passion to create is evident during times of peace as well as war, under favorable circumstances as well as the most difficult and dangerous imaginable. Their media of expression can be naturally derived or imported. It can vary from monumental stone sculpture to intricate beadwork, or from painting with mud to oil and acrylic. The passion to decorate is evident in daily life from the designs applied to the smallest clay bowls, to the sturdy mud walls of their compounds where women give birth or see life pass away. These decorations are frequently symbolic and the motifs can please as well as reinforce shared community values. Across the African continent, from Timbuktu, Mali to Harare, Zimbabwe or Asmara, Eritrea, whether women weave, sew, sketch, paint, create fabric applique or stone sculptures, their art work often incorporates the duality of myth and reality as they express their hopes, fears, humor, and frustrations.
