Modern afro-caribbean art

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Suspected original research. Article cites no sources that establish "Modern Afro-Caribbean art" as a recognized art movement or period, nor can I find any on GBooks.

Lo real maravilloso is an existing literary concept, but is already covered here; I don't think that's an appropriate redirect target for "modern Afro-Caribbean art", though. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 21:57, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I only now saw this edit by Writ Keeper. This article used to be a personal essay, of which only a side remark remained. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 22:00, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - it's redundant apparently. According to the The Oxford History of Western Art, "Afro-Caribbean art can be called modern because, aside from the work of European itinerant artists, there is sparse evidence of local art production in any of the islands prior to the 20th century. ... But plantation economies could ill afford art in the leisurely sense, so their early forms of expression were manifested in performance art such as carnival. Afro-Caribbeans have only recently seen what they do as art. Caribbean populations took long to recognise the value of black creativity that had been promoted by Europeans in Paris, New York and London after 1914." —Мандичка^YO 😜 22:09, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
