TINGATINGA (1932 - 1972) [view
available works from this artist]
Edward
Saidi Tingatinga was the origin
of the naive style of painting who would later
take his name. Tingatinga started painting in 1968, and
although his career was ended prematurely in 1972, his
style inspired his
five students and then his followers to establish
the Tingatinga
School of Painters that continues to florish today.
The Tingatinga movement constitutes a genuine form of
contemporary art, original to Tanzania.
