The Art of Africa
Rather originally is Negro art as well. The Mask of Bacongo can not be confused with the Japanese mask of theatre No, or the bronze of Ife with the works of Benvenutto Chellini. The other feature of the African art is that dance (as ballet), oral drama and musical concert, being in the world of the European art separate genres, here do not differ precisely among themselves. Some kinds of festivals and other celebrations of traditional Africa have the dramatized character. These festivals, as a rule, spent in connection with specific events, carried the religious color and had the series of social and economic consequences. In essence, complexity of precise abjection of the indicated genres in the African theatrical art consists in the fact that the "drama" moments were a part of a cloth of the broadest life experience.
