Kappata, Stephan

(1936 Barotseland Zambia - Livingstone 2007). 5 small-format oil paintings by one of the most famous African artists of the 20th century. Between 20 x 28 and 23 x 36 cm. 4 of 5 signed, all titled. Each framed under glass (not unframed). Stephan Kappta, internationally recognized and one of Africa's most important artists, is known above all for his "naive" art, in which he deals with the themes of injustice and African customs and colonialism through an interplay of satire and education. The often amusing and provocative captions on subjects such as alcoholism and workers' rights are strikingly contradictory and subversive. - 5 small format oil paintings.
