Contemporary Nigerian Art and its Classifications

ABOUT THE BOOK

Contemporary Nigerian Art Classifications is a detailed study of the historical development of contemporary Nigerian art traditions. It is a positive response to the changing relationship between Nigerian art and the Nigerian Society. The study of Nigerian art has constantly given prominence to a few first and second generation painters and sculptors. In this regard, all the areas of specialisation in the Fine and Applied Arts in Nigerian contemporary art traditions are visited in this book. It has also corrected the latent but grievious misconceptions about the study of N igerian art. “… Chukueggu has made efforts to correct some existing misconceptions which have reconstructed and realigned some available evidence within the scope of his text” – C. S. Okeke, Professor of Fine and Applied Arts, lmc State University, Owerri.
