Recently, I was reading an article dedicated to African art and I was amazed to find out about so many varieties of African art forms. Initially I used to believe that African tribal art was just limited to masks. But after seeing the photographs of the original oil paintings, jewellery items and pottery items I was simply spell bound. Being an art lover, I am planning to buy some original paintings to add to my collection. Can you guys suggest where I can purchase some good African paintings?

Hi Sam Thomas,
I am an ardent lover of African tribal art and I am happy to know that you liked this genre. I must mention here that the tribal artists are highly creative and have magic in their hands. I have a very high regard for these talented African tribal artists. Now coming to your question, I can suggest to you an online site http://www.southafricanartists.com/ from where I picked some wonderful art pieces. Give it a try and I am sure you would find something to your taste. Take care |

African art has played an important role in the african lifestyle for many years, but the focus now is on the contemporary. Earlier examples of african art are harder to get, sites like the http://africanpaintingsgallery.com are mainly for contemporary african paintings. A few others deal with antiques however.
