Foreword -- Frédéric Bruly Bouabré : world unbound / Ugochukwu-Smooth C. Nzewi -- Writings by Bouabré -- Plates -- Chronology / Damasia Lacroze -- Checklist of the exhibition -- Selected exhibitions / Erica Dibenedetto -- Selected bibliography / Erica Dibenedetto -- Trustees of the Museum of Modern Art. - The Ivorian artist Frédéric Bruly Bouabré created an unmistakable and entirely unique body of work, first as a writer and linguist, and then in a 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. All but unknown even in his home country of Côte dIvoire, Bouabré found international recognition in 1989 when he participated in the landmark Paris exhibition Magiciens de la terre, and his work has since been the subject of solo and group exhibitions around the world.?Published to accompany the first museum survey of Bouabrés work in North America, this catalog offers a vivid account of the artists long and multifaceted career, including a detailed chronology of his life and reproductions of more than six hundred of his drawings. An essay by curator Ugochukwu-Smooth C. Nzewi introduces Bouabré to a new audience, illuminating his significance as both an important African creator and one of the most intriguing artists of the 20th century.
