Oil On Wood, African Griot, Early 20th
Artist: Non Signé
Lovely little oil on panel, finely painted with beautiful details.
The griot is a person who specializes in the praise and declamation of historical narratives that recounts the lives of founding heroes and tales and legends in West Africa.
The caste of griots was born and then developed in a context where writing was non-existent. The griot is thus considered to be in particular the depositary of the oral tradition
