As this region is so diverse, its artists work in a variety of styles, modes and forms, ranging from the academic to the self-taught, the surrealist and symbolist to the impres- sionist and social-realist. With classic and abstract forms influenced by Europe and America, and technique and color from Africa, the pieces are truly unique and varied.
