I do like  both pictures, and let me add that for me the water carrier is top art (wink to pop art that I don't like ,sorry about that), I mean it overcomes african style.

Thank you for your comments.

The Poto Poto district of Brazzaville (Rep. of Congo) was in the '80 full of artists. Brazzavillians are very cultured people; artisans studied cultural movements around the world which permeated their art. By the way, european artists - Picasso e.g. - were influenced by african art too.
