You know, it is art like this, so very different from all I have seen, that I am happy that people have different cultures. Different peoples find different solutions, different ways of expressing things, I wouldn't have thought in my life of such forms and colours! Superbissimo.

interesting indeed, better than splitting and suspending a dead calf in two. It is similar to other North Indian carvings. Good stuff helios.
Here is one from a different continent, any guesses for the country. Do u thinkit is modern?

Interesting yes, I didn't even know there was a branch like this of modern art. Great for decorating. I like the suspended black mask, it's the kind of thing that makes visitors go "wtf is that?"

Very beautiful. Those rattles are remarkable!
It makes me think about how many ancient artifacts were lost simply because they were made of wood.

I would guess this is Benin (which is not the modern country, but rather a medieval African kingdom in Nigeria), maybe sometime XVth or XVIth century.
By the way, the whole splitting a calf in two, etc. is just a very different approach to art. Traditional art has had the purpose of expressing or something beautiful. Modern art (the split calf), has the purpose of shocking and generating a respone. It's purpose is to make you ask questions...

excellent Decebal
The point about approach to art, I would disagree. You would find more art at the local butchers than at an over-hyped Damien Hearst exhibition. I think this new acceptance is tantamount to accepting artistically deficient people as 'creative' artists(artistically challenged). Where by the enclosed environment forces you as the observer to seek purpose/justification/meaning and merit in the observed, even if it is used toilet paper lying on the floor.
To give credibility to such trash would only be sad reflection on part of the participant. If the purpose is to shock and generate a response, then we will have to consider CNN as a source of such artistic accomplishment.

It's nice to see people appreciating Inuit art. My sincere thanks to those who gave their input.
There's been a boom in demand for Inuit art in my country, making it somewhat expensive, even for Canadians. I can only afford to admire the stuff. Art from other aboriginal peoples of Canada is less expensive, not sure why.
Decebal guessing malizai_'s piece was really impressive.

I helios, those pictures are really beautiful. The style of their crafts can't be compared with the ones of other continents. Inuit is a lot better!
Now, I find Inuit art quite similar to the Native American art of the Canadian and U.S. West Coast. Look at the logo of the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Totems.
Which is are abstractions of the ancient totems
It is there any link between Inuit and Seattle's cultures? The styles look quite similar.

Hi Hellios,
I like Inuit arts, but I am really a fanatic of the North American North West Coastal art. So I was very intrigated by the similarity of the above art with the one of the North West Native American, so I check it out.
The above scuptures are not Inuit but of the Amerindian tribes of the North West, the same ones that made the famous totem poles. The stone sculptures you show below these are Inuit.
Sorry for the intervention, but I am really a fanatic of the art of the Natives of Seattle, B.C. and Alaska.
Regards,
Pinguin
