Bringing together 175 artists across nearly a century, this volume of 408 pages offers the first comprehensive visual survey of modern and contemporary art in Cameroon from 1925 to the present. Through more than 300 images and 22 newly commissioned essays by leading writers, curators, and scholars, the book traces the evolution of artistic practices across generations.

From pioneering figures who shaped the foundations of modern art in Cameroon to the contemporary voices redefining its global presence today. At once a historical archive and a living portrait of artistic creation, this publication reveals the richness, diversity, and intellectual depth of one of Africa’s most dynamic artistic landscapes.
