Photo Gallery of Contemporary Ethiopian Artists

Zemenay, modernist important activist artists showed great creativity in their pictorial devices. Many of their artistic solutions ultimately formed a practical guide and approach for others, including the new and exit generation artists.The art of the 1960s and 1970s of Ethiopian activists and social critics also includes subject matter that goes beyond merely the story that the painter wants to tell. They were not illustrations, but art that consciously intended to emphasize the self-respect of Ethiopian men and women, often under deprivation. They suggest much concern for the human condition. To this day, their subject matter and results manage to keep us engaged, and they feel timeless.
