Tribal art is growing in popularity. At the start of the 20th century Tribal art became arousing to the young artists and collectors. Back when "Negro art was seen as an innocent product, big artists such as Picasso and Braque were drawing great inspiration from the new qualities. "Non-European" art was greatly influenced by these great artists and is continued to be influence modern art today.

Very interesting and unique pieces of art work! i would imagine that many African artists are struggling for recognition and eager to show the world their work! I'm glad to see that some of the art work is put into museums and galleys.
