About
Why this artist matters now
Iba N'Diaye was a Senegalese-born French painter and educator. Trained in Senegal and France during the colonial period, N'Diaye utilized European modernist fine arts training and medium to depict his views of African realities. He returned to Senegal upon its independence, and became the founding head of École Nationale des Beaux Arts in Dakar. Disenchanted with the prevailing artistic and political climate of mid-1960s Dakar, N'Diaye returned to France in 1967 and exhibited around the globe, returning to his birthplace of Saint-Louis, Senegal, to present his work in Senegal again only in 2000. N'Diaye died at his home in Paris in October, 2008 at the age of 80.
