Be fure going deeper in the object of his study, the author discusses
the important role Art played in the evolution of human civiliration.
He pays special attention to Nigeria's A rt and remarks that i t should take
a much higher place in the order of priorities of the country and points
out its fate, in fluences and attempts to find a solution to what he calls
krisis of identity in Contemporary Art'.
After highliqhting some points about the nature oP Art and its sig-
nificance for mankind, he concentrates on his major contributions as an
academic like 'deciphering the signidicance o f Art in Yoruba culture';
his use o f evidentes to disprove the very old assumption that the ram
symbolism in Sango A r t was borrowed from the cult of Amon-Ra in
Ancient Egypt; socio-political and aesthetic functions of Gelédé and at
last he taekls about his present work on Contemporary A r t in Nigeria
with i t s social, politiwl, aesthetic and industrial implications, always
trying to make aware of the importante of A r t in general.
