KUBA DESIGNS AT THE HEART OF AFRICA

Working with James Nurse at Chiswick Auctions we are thinking about how we make Africa the Centre Point for the Afropollittan Collection of Art next month. (james@chiswickauctions.co.uk)

James is keen to see the Matisse influence and also the Joe Pollitt goodness out of the designs that originated from the Kuba Kingdom in the Democratic Republic of Congo in Central Africa.

 And Matisse was very inspired by these works he had them around his bed.










To stretch these ideas into the 21st Century Joe Pollitt  has his own version of the Kuba Designs. Modern Kubaism by Joe Pollitt - On Sale At Chiswick Auctions contact James Nurse on.james@chiswickauctions.co.uk
