Large Vintage Tribal Folk Art Batik Fabric Painting Art with Mid Century Modern

About the Item

Vintage African Folk Art Batik Fabric Painting Art with Mid Century Modern Influence and wooden outer Framing. In good vintage condition and no tears in fabric. Batik is one of many methodologies of fabric art in long and rich textile tradition. It is a wax-resist type of dyeing operation where certain sections of a textile are pigmented while others are tied-off and shielded from coloring. Batik designs are created in various geometric motifs that have certain symbolism and convey status within society, but now too they use batik methods to achieve what in essence are paintings on fabric. Batik method is an extremely complicated and labor intensive process. This particular scene looks almost tribal in feel, and if we recall correctly, it is conjuring a village scene.

In the first line: they grind; they drink; …illegible… while they spin; they bring water. In the second line: comb, cut your hair; treats your teeth; grind; they bring the wood; they bring water. In the third section: they prepare beer; they prepare bread; they cook bread; they prepare lunch; while they eat; while they drink. This canvas is painted in shades of ocher and is mounteed on a ebonized frame. Dates back to the late 1930s. The canvas show minimal tears and signs of wear but we can customize a restoration. The human figures are characterized by unrealistic proportions of the head and body and depicted in static positions.
