Kwamé Sorrell / African Pottery Forming and Firing

“Scholars say Africans don't have a word for art. I say Westerners don't have a word for art. What is art? It is called art for art's sake.What kind of art is not used?All art is used.African art is used a lot.My definition of art is It is used to express people's ideas about the world they live in. In my opinion, Africans are the only people who understand art, and Westerners are the only ones who do not have the word art. That's what I mean.''_Kwamé Sorrell
