The first museum survey of the visionary polymath from C矌e d'Ivoire
The Ivorian artist Fr嶮廨ic Bruly Bouabr?created an unmistakable and entirely unique body of work, first as a writer and linguist, and then in a dazzling series of colorful drawings on a multitude of subjects, from his native B彋?culture to the urban milieu of Abidjan to the all-encompassing themes of fraternity, equality and global understanding. All but unknown even in his home country of C矌e d'Ivoire, Bouabr?found international recognition in 1989 when he participated in the landmark Paris exhibition Magiciens de la terre, and his work has since been the subject of solo and group exhibitions around the world.
Published to accompany the first museum survey of Bouabr?s work in North America, this catalog offers a vivid account of the artist's long and multifaceted career, including a detailed chronology of his life and reproductions of more than six hundred of his drawings. An essay by curator Ugochukwu-Smooth C. Nzewi introduces Bouabr?to a new audience, illuminating his significance as both an important African creator and one of the most intriguing artists of the 20th century.
Fr嶮廨ic Bruly Bouabr?/b> (1923-2014) started his career as a bureaucrat in the French colonial administration but reinvented himself as a self-taught ethnologist and artist in C矌e d'Ivoire, his home country. After developing a written syllabary for the oral culture of his B彋?people, he turned to drawing as a way to unite B彋?subjects with broader themes of human experience. His work attracted global interest, leading to major exhibitions and biennials since its art-world debut in 1989.
