Olayinka: A Woman’s View

The Life of an African Modern Artist. Miranda Olayinka Burney-Nicol, who signed her work OLAYINKA, was a pioneer in modern African art. She belonged to the first generation of African artists who did not follow indigenous art practises, but drew a variety of European media into her work while simultaneously adapting them. This comprehensive overview features various photos of the artist's work and includes interviews and personal correspondence. Ottenberg has produced a fitting tribute to one of the greatest African artists.
