New Year's Eve in Cameroon by Hans Bohrdt,Artist

Descripción

This 1894 print, titled "Neujahrsnacht in Kamerun" (New Year's Eve in Cameroon), is a striking example of the German colonial art movement. Created by Hans Bohrdt, a prominent artist and illustrator of the time, the image depicts a festive scene on a tropical beach. Sailor with a Black Cameroon Girl under thestars and Palm trees gather around a bonfire, celebrating the New Year. The artist's use of vibrant colors and dynamic composition conveys a sense of exoticism and adventure. However, the image also reflects the colonial gaze, portraying the African people as objects of fascination and curiosity. This print provides a glimpse into the cultural exchange and power dynamics that characterized the colonial era. Description: Print is from an 1894 Publication Moderne Kunst.
