Albert Dombé
Oil on canvas 50’s, signed, 50 x 40 cm. Albert Dombé was a Congolese painter from Thysville (now Mbanza-Ngungu) in the 1940s. He was very attached to his people's past and chose
to resuscitate, through the evocation of daily life scenes, traditions whose growing oblivion he deplored. These scenes depict dancing, hunting,
or fishing. This ideal of remembrance earned us a realistic artistic production, both anecdotal and spontaneous, without losing poetic sense Above
all, Dombé possessed a keen sense of composition and movement None at the time surpassed him in describing the shimmering movements of the crowd, which are lively and expressed in brilliant colours
