African painting has boomed in recent years. It reflects the self-awareness with which artists on the continent look at themselves and their position in the world. In this period, collectors Carla and Pieter Schulting have acquired a large collection of paintings - supplemented by some sculptures and photographs - from all parts of Africa, giving a good insight into what African painting stands for at this time. Many of the artists in the collection have themselves or their immediate surroundings as subjects with portraits, figure pieces and genre scenes.
