Onobrakpeya: Masks of the Flaming Arrows

Widely acknowledged as Africa’s master printmaker, Bruce Onobrakpeya (b. 1932) is also a world-renowned painter and sculptor. He has exhibited at Tate Modern, London; the National Museum of African Art, Washington, D.C.; and the Malmö Konsthall, Sweden; and has lived and taught in the United States. Educated in colonial Nigeria, Onobrakpeya stands in the van­guard of contemporary African artists who set the standards for innovation and professionalism in a new, postcolonial nation. This volume presents an astonishing array of color and black-and-white reproductions of his drawings, paintings, prints, and installations, and includes notes by the artist, as well as selections of his poetry.
