Joram Mariga
Joram Mariga has been called (and believed himself to be) the “Father of Zimbabwean Sculpture” because of his influence on the local artistic community starting in the 1950s and continuing until his death in 2000. The sculptural movement of which he was part is usually referred to as “Shona sculpture”, although some of its recognised members are not ethnically Shona.
Joram Mariga died in December 2000 soon after arrival at Bonda Mission Hospital, following a car accident.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biography from National Gallery of Zimbabwe )〕
==Early life and education==
Born near Chinhoyi, (formerly called Sinoia) in what in 1927 was Southern Rhodesia, Joram Mariga was ethnically Shona and spoke Zezuru, a local dialect. He was the son of a sangoma, and both of his parents were artistic. His father and elder brothers (Copper and Douglas) were expert woodcarvers, while his mother made pottery. All of them sold their work to members of the community.〔Elizabeth Morton, "Frank McEwen and Joram Mariga: Patron and Artist in the Rhodesian Workshop School Setting." In S. Kasfir and T. Forster, eds., African Art and Agency in the Workshop (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2013), 278.〕 Aged eight or nine, he started to carve wood, and at school he joined wood working classes. As a herdboy, his first subject-matter was cattle. Joram attended secondary school in Goromonzi and studied at the Waddilove Institute. He qualified as an agriculturist and was employed by Agritex.〔Winter-Irving C. "Stone Sculpture in Zimbabwe" p95-97, Roblaw Publishers (A division of Modus Publications Pvt. Ltd), 1991, ISBN 0-908309-14-7 (Paperback)〕
His career as a sculptor in stone began in 1957 when he discovered long sought-after caches of green Inyanga (Moon) soapstone while leading a roadbuilding crew in eastern Rhodesia. Unaware of the importance of his find, he started to use it to produce utensils and small figures.〔Contemporary Stone Carving from Zimbabwe, 1990, ISBN 1-871480-04-3〕 He also began teaching members of his road building crew to carve the stone using woodcarving tools.
