PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Frédéric Bruly Bouabré (1923–2014) created an unmistakable and entirely unique body of work, first as a writer and linguist and then in dazzling series of colorful drawings on a multitude of subjects, from his native Bété culture to the urban milieu of Abidjan to the all-encompassing themes of fraternity, equality, and global understanding. Published to accompany the first museum survey of Bouabré’s work in North America, this catalogue offers a vivid account of the artist’s long and multifaceted career, including a detailed chronology of his life and reproductions of more than six hundred of his drawings.
