A Reflection of Tanzania: Embressing The Beauty of Tanzania



It is one of the most beautiful places in Africa you could visit, peaceful is what our neibouring countries call us and the natural resources that we have here make us unique…Am talking about Tanzania, my beautiful country with multi- talented artist. Look at all this artwork done by our most talented artists, they represent African touch and beauty. The unforgettable hand-painted canvases of the Maasai progressively functioned not as a vivid representation of natural Africa and some intuitive technique of the African artist at the end of the brush, but as a sign of a mass production keyed to a desire for such qualities in African art. Take a look and be the judge. Next time book a flight here and get one of this painting to your living room to give yourself a symbol of beauty in your home.





 The canvases, wall painting and their amazing ubiquity became an index of that enduring modernist fantasy, a fantasy that has become the work’s content.  As a representation not of Africa or African art, but of a certain fantasy conception of Africa and African art and its beauty within it.
