Mr. E = Mystery!
Wow, a really great video. You've packed a lot of information into this fairly short episode and I suspect you could easily do a many part series on this subject. I have watched many videos on what is commonly referred to as ' African Art', and several have said that it's ironic that many of the African cultures that created the masks, statues, figurines didn't have a word in their vocabularies that meant art as we understand the word. I don't know if that's true, because it's hard to know where western arrogance ends and truth begins when western culture tries to understand and interpret African cultures and the purpose and meaning of what they created. All I know is that what we call "African Art" redefines the boundaries of imagination and creativity. Thanks for sharing this video.👍
