EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Veranda Post (Opo Ogoga), Ikere, a remarkable piece of art created between 1910-14 in Africa. The unknown artist skillfully carved this wooden sculpture, which is now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago. The image offers a close-up view of the veranda post, revealing its intricate details and vibrant colors. The wood and pigment used in its creation add depth and character to this tribal masterpiece. In this scene, we see a family seated on chairs around the verandah, representing an important aspect of Yoruba culture in Nigeria during that time period. A woman sits with her son beside her while other women and boys gather nearby. The Veranda Post (Opo Ogoga) serves as a testament to West African heritage art and tribal culture. Its presence evokes a sense of pride for the people depicted within it and their ancestral traditions. This photograph not only captures the beauty of this unique artwork but also invites us to appreciate the rich history embedded within it. It reminds us that art has always been an essential part of human expression across continents. As we gaze upon this striking image, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever—a glimpse into the lives and customs of those who came before us.
