For decades, African art was treated as inspiration without attribution — studied, borrowed, and reshaped while its originators remained unnamed. This video revisits how African sculpture, design, and visual language didn’t merely influence European modernism, but helped define it, long before artists like Picasso or Modigliani rose to fame. What’s often framed as “discovery” looks closer to omission, raising a broader question about how art history is written, who gets credited, and why foundational African contributions are still absent from many classrooms.
