L'oiseau, éd. 1
Bocar Diong Senegalese
Not on view
Bocar Diong, a pivotal figure in contemporary Senegalese art, transitioned from early naïve portraits to powerful, abstract compositions in the 1970s. In L’Oiseau I, Diong departs from his earlier war imagery, focusing on the noble falcon as a symbol of strength and grace. His dynamic design, marked by bold lines and simplified forms, showcases his mastery of tapestry and abstraction. This work exemplifies Diong’s ability to combine African symbolism with sophisticated artistry, contributing to Senegalese artistic identity.
