Description
Two early Ituri bark cloth paintings from the 1920’s – 1930’s. Mbuti Culture, Ituri Rainforest Region of DRC. Sold separately, please choose your favourite. Please note that we have 17 more Ituri bark cloth paintings available unframed. Please enquire if this is of interest.
The eccentric biomorphic and linear geometries of Mbuti bark cloths, painted by women, are impressionistic responses to the organic textures, patterning, life forms and play of light and motion of the forest landscape. The abstract compositions evoke twisting vines, webs, fractal branches, insect activity, tracks and animal markings, in a fluid, spontaneous and exploratory spirit. Pounded inner bark fiber, plant dyes.
