About the Item
Oil on Canvas. Signed and dated lower left At the back is handwritten and signed by the a rtist, a prayer to Jesus in Portuguese.
Malangatana was a Mozambican artist ( poet, painter, musician) and political activist for his country.
The work belongs to Malangatana's early artistic period, whose political commitment was not yet manifest, and takes up the subject of the 'Last Supper he had already tackled other times in the same years.
In such a religious subject, Malangatana well reveals his closeness to the ritual and tribal culture of his country, but also his knowledge of the religion as well as that of Western art, both in the composition of the figures, which look to similar Western subjects, and in the compositions of the objects, particularly the many and varied elements that fill the table, with a basket of fruit in the center, which harken back to our still lifes.
His figures are presented as overlapping and intertwined bodies, and dominated by faces, in which long eyes stand out, with piercing expressions, which will later become glances tormented and suffering, a symbol of the suffering of an oppressed people.
