The first known art forms have been found in some rocks, painted over 25,000 years ago in South Africa. For millennia the Khoisan were leaving their footprints pictorial in a very extensive territory that covers the entire southern Africa and central areas of the continent. Generally reflect hunting scenes.
The beauty of African art is simply an element of its function, for these objects would not be effective if they were not aesthetically pleasing. Its beauty and its content thus combine to make art the vehicle that ensures the survival of traditions, protects the community and the individual, and tells much of the person or persons who use it.”
