The term &#8220;tribal art&#8221; is subjective and can often be used to describe a broad range of artworks from every culture.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The term &#8220;tribal art&#8221; is often used as a catch-all phrase to describe any sort of non-western, non-mainstream or non-European style of art. It can include painting, sculptures, textiles and music made by people who lived in ancient and contemporary times.<\/p>\n<p>It may have been created for ritualistic purposes or purely for the aesthetic pleasure of the artist.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tribal art doesn&#8217;t just mean African tribal art. It includes works from around the world all with similar qualities that may include: bright colors, bold patterns, fetish figures, masks and body paint, ceremonial objects and other artefacts&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>In the art world the term &#8220;tribal art&#8221; is used to describe work from various indigenous cultures. The term is often used as a catch-all for the various hunter-gatherer cultures, whose art are not well represented in the Western canon.<\/p>\n<p>Tribal arts have included masks, pottery, cloth and body painting, carvings in wood, stone and bone, weavings, jewellery and more.<\/p>\n<p>The term &#8220;tribal&#8221; is somewhat misleading as it suggests that these arts are somehow connected with primitive or barbaric societies. This may be true in some cases but it certainly isn&#8217;t a general description of tribal art. Many of the tribes who produce this type of art have been studied anthropologically and their society found to be just as advanced as our own or even more so.<\/p>\n<p>These cultures&#8217; artistic styles can vary greatly, though they sometimes share common elements or techniques; frequently featuring bright colours and abstract patterns.<\/p>\n<p>In most cases tribal artwork is produced by anonymous artists by hand rather than being mass-produced and therefore each piece is unique.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tribal art is an expression of cultural identity. The symbols on their masks, paintings and other artifacts are as important as a person&#8217;s given name. Each design tells a story, whether it is recounting an event or family history, or simply expressing the artist&#8217;s feelings. Such art conveys feelings, ideas and information through symbolism. The symbols may be abstract, like the images of a dream or vision, or represent real objects such as animals, plants, natural forms or human beings.<\/p>\n<p>Tribal art has evolved over time in response to each community&#8217;s needs. It is generally created for specific ceremonies or rituals and is not made for sale or trade. Most tribal art is made from naturally occurring materials such as feathers, animal skins, woods, herbs and clay; usually containing symbolic meaning such as power and strength.<\/p>\n<p>The goat-fish depicted in the mask above symbolizes abundance and fertility in Senufo culture of Burkina Faso in West Africa. Senufo masks are used by a caste of religious leaders called N&#8217;Gono. These masks come in various forms depicting different characters but they all have horns made from antelope horns which represent protection against evil spirits during the Mask Dance Ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Tribal art is a term that refers to the art produced by indigenous ethnic groups in roughly 50 countries around the world. The name is somewhat controversial as it does not refer to art made by tribal people of ancient times, nor does it imply that all tribal artists are ethnically linked. The term is most commonly used, however, to refer to 20th century works by non-Western artists, especially works from Oceania, Africa and the Americas.<\/p>\n<p>It is also occasionally applied to art by Western artists who draw inspiration from tribal cultures.<\/p>\n<p>Tribal art often features themes or styles similar to those of non-tribal indigenous peoples: stylized anthropomorphic figures and images of animals derived from rock paintings, petroglyphs and other sources. It is believed that objects found in archaeological sites may be considered as examples of tribal arts.<\/p>\n<p>The terms &#8220;Primitive Art&#8221; and &#8220;Artsy Primitive&#8221; are also sometimes used to describe works similar to those created by tribal cultures in Africa and Oceania. However, these terms have now fallen out of favor due to their crassness and offensiveness.<\/p>\n<p>The term &#8220;tribal&#8221; refers not only to a particular place but also a particular state of society which can range from<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oF5j342uTYg?autoplay=1&#038;mute=1\"><\/iframe><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K4yQbWBj9m0?autoplay=1&#038;mute=1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to our Blog: A blog about tribal art and other art subjects.
