"The drawins represent the traditional art of Africa, unchanged by centuries of rich cultural heritage. The original art from which the drawings were taken was designed to serve special functions in the tribal way of life, for it was used in ceremonies and in religious celebrations. Today influences of African art may be seen in the work of Picasso, Brancusi, Braque and Leger."--Mrs. Alice Agee, Mrs. Shirley Reid, Art Department, Highland Park College.
