Bernard Takawira (1948-1997) is part of the first generation of founding artists in the Shona sculpture community in Zimbabwe. Bernard’s work takes on the style of European modernists as much as it shows local cultural influences. Bernard was one of the early artists who brought international attention to African expressionist aesthetics. Bernard was one of the early artists who helped create a new and artistically serious pathway forward, starting with his earliest works in the 1970’s
