The bold, expressive and symbolic nature of African art has inspired many artists in many ways, making it a significant influence on the development of art worldwide, particularly in the modern and contemporary periods.

In addition, new forms of artistic expression such as performance art, installation art and conceptual art were developed.

Today, the influence of African art continues to grow, as many artists continue to be inspired by the use of materials such as wood, clay and textiles, as well as the use of repeated patterns and geometric shapes in their work.

The creativity and the cultural and historical context of African art inspire and influence artists to be more experimental and expressive in their own work and to address social and political issues in their art by exploring themes related to identity, tradition and cultural heritage.

African art is a major inspiration and influence for artists around the world, and its impact can be seen in a wide range of artistic styles and mediums.
