THE MODERNIST PAINTING APPROACH IN THE YORUBAS ART FORMS

in #art6 years ago (edited)

The yorubas art have distintive characteristic which has range from meaning, the usage and the adaptation varied from the symbolism that reflect both animal and human forms. This has speak on the existing customs,tradition representing the nature of the western Nigeria traditions. This has greatly inspired many arts that include other ethnic region of Nigeria likewise across the globe and the western art. Many researchers art writers has done a extensive research on the yoruba towns, art and societies and they have presented documentation of creative force that helps the external world. They have argued that the arts is mimes of the external world were the ideas are thoughts transcending the yoruba visible worlds. The modernist artist new methods and techniques accepting as novel forms to their hinge on knowldge learning aids in the european standards.
The battle between two viewpoints has come to envelop the century ideas which can expunge forms from the yoruba culture which is of explicit standard coherence of the yoruba world of art.
The nature of the arts equally has been argued as politics to some entent which may be ascribed with the role of presenting external world of the entire yoruba communities which one may consider independent to the configuration of an avant garde painting style which is the fascination of rythmic forms.
It will be polite to say that the notable yoruba forms has appear as to be highly dependent of external forces from the beginning of the 20th century. We would effectively reflect the definiton of a painting to a one time restate which theory the immitation of mechanical anchoring of ideas of imitation or the likeliness to handmade objects.
It is argue that all this art form by all standard has its own meaning, diffrence messages anf diffrent functions which can be regarded as a part anf a genre of the Nigerian arts. While reflecting on this idea of what "Duchamp" called ready made which is a technical terms coined to challenge what could be reffered to as art. All these are packaged in the artworks in the order of new form which was attached from the Nigerin tradition arts deduced from purposes and which was removed from the ideological function of representation such as the yoruba art.
Although,these ideas is potraying inherent theme and subjects associated with the yoruba arts but perhaps help the priorities idea of abstract expressionism. It is most persistent to say that the best known art theory named avant garde which was once refute by the art critics was more noticable in the works of Nigerian artists which they have already seen their work of their predessors which they later adopted and applying it as a theory at the end of the 20th century.

THE PRACTICAL INVESTIGATION

Through drawing and painting the researchers tried to infuse the indigenous yoruba art to investigate traditonal and modern arts and craft in Nigeria. The reasearchers have been engaging themselves through the practice of drawing and painting whether the stylystic trends of the modern western art influenced the Nigerian and African art. For example, me analysing a creative pattern and motif of the Yoruba art with my view addessing issue of originality and interpretation. As new generation artist i will create a new design with found object, mixed media and interpretation. All i have to do is through this analyses of creative pattern, motiff if it will produce a unique interpretation of the Yoruba art addressing issue of originality. Based on the artistic dialogue that has happen globally since the 20th century and how if is at all has the influence of Nigerian and African art.

Conclusively, it has been able to reveal modernist perspective and functions that the art ad craft of the Yoruba people extend beyond craft design and technical skill rather than an embodiment of traditional knowledge. However it is reveal that art and craft exposition has given room for academic advancement and it often regarded as the major primary maker for constructive text argument and cultural development. It help seprate the widely artistic mileus and the reaction that present the final objects as it run giddily from the ironic to the platonic.
