A visual guide to the symbolism of the Ghanaian linguist's staff, showing and describing 30 different finial motifs. In traditional Akan societies, linguists are the most important non-royal court officials, serving mixed roles as counselors, ambassadors, legal experts, and historians. Every linguist (okyeame) carries a wooden staff (okyeame poma), topped with a carved finial of a symbolic figure. "The symbol he carries is the symbol (usually proverbial) of the state he represents. Some depict animal or human forms while others depict just simple abstract forms. Whatever stands on that staff or stick represents the beliefs and aspirations of the entire state or clan. The staff itself is made of wood wrapped with either silver or gold leaf, or sometimes of solid gold or silver." The poster's artist, Ablade Glover (b. 1934), is one of Ghana's most celebrated artists, known chiefly for his dynamic, semi-abstract paintings of urban and market scenes. At the time of the present publication, Glover was serving in the Faculty of Art at the University of Science and Technology in Kumasi, Ghana (now, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology), where he retired in 1994 as Head of the Department of Art Education and Dean of the Department of Art.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Ablade Glover is a veteran of Ghana's art scene and one of its most important artists working today. His vibrant paintings depicting local life in Ghana, from scenes of its teeming markets to portaits of its strong women, have been exhibited internationally. Light and Vibrancy in Paris, marks the first time that his work is being honoured with a solo show in France. This exhibition could have been titled Loving Painting, given how much the love of painting and sharing is felt in each of the works by this icon in the history of contemporary art from Africa. On the cusp of a new era in African art, he is one of the rare few to enjoy recognition both on the stage of the African continent, which is historically centred on local production, and the international stage. Ablade Glover est une figure majeure de la scene artistique du Ghana et du continent africain. L'un des artistes en activite parmi les plus importants aujourd'hui. Ses peintures vibrantes representent la vie locale au Ghana. Ses scenes de marches grouillants ou ses profils de femmes vaillantes ont ete exposes partout dans le monde. Cette exposition aurait pu s'intituler Aimer la peinture tant peindre et partager se ressent dans chacune des oeuvres de cet icone de l'histoire de l'art contemporain africain. Light & Vibrancy Paris marque sa premiere exposition personnelle en France. A l'oree du vent nouveau qui souffle sur l'art africain, il est un des rares a jouir d'une reconnaissance a la fois sur des scenes continentales, historiquement centrees sur les productions locales, et internationales.
