Summary:

"Tshibumba Kanda Matulu (1947-1982?) portrays the turbulent history of his country, the Congo, in this impressive series of 102 paintings. Important characters and events feature in this passing parade, such as the political leaders Lumumba and Mobutu, and the Belgian monarchs Leopold II and Baudouin. Tshibumba's paintings, produced between 1973 and 1974, portray historic events and figures, but always contain lessons for the present. Tshibumba also wrote explanatory texts on his paintings. In addition, the well-known anthropologist Johannes Fabian made extensive notes of their conversations."--Page 4 of cover.
