Gedewon Makonnen, called Gedewon (1939-1995), was an Ethiopian artist. Born in Begemder, Gedewon trained as a cleric in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. As part of his training, he learned to draw talismans, which soon became much sought-after among Western collectors. Some of his drawings are now in The Contemporary African Art Collection (CAAC) of Jean Pigozzi. He died in Därtähal in 1995. ==Exhibitions== *2005 Arts of Africa, Grimaldi Forum, Monaco, France *2005 African Art Now : Masterpieces from the Jean Pigozzi Collection, Museum of Fine Art Houston, USA *2003 – 2004 Vernacular Visionaries: International Outsider Art in Context, Museum of International Folk Art, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA *2002 Art that Heals, Apex Art, New York, USA *2001 Dessins Choisis, Forum Culturel de Blanc-Mesnil, Le Blanc-Mesnil, France *2001 Working in the Spirit : Gedewon and Vyakul, Cavin-Morris Gallery, New York, USA *2000 Partage d’Exotismes, La Halle Tony Garnier, Lyon, France *1998 Africa, Africa : A vibrant Art from a Dynamic Continent, Tobu Museum of Art, Tokyo, Japan 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gedewon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
