Item description

Oil on canvas. Signed and dated lower left. On the back there is a handwritten and signed prayer to Jesus in Portuguese by the artist. Malangatana was a Mozambican artist (poet, painter, musician), as well as a political activist for his country. The work belongs to Malangatana\'s first artistic period, whose political commitment was not yet evident, and takes up the subject of the Last Supper, which he had already tackled on other occasions in the same years. In this religious subject, Malangatana clearly reveals his closeness to the ritual and tribal culture of his country, but also his knowledge of religion as well as that of Western art, both in the composition of the figures that look at similar Western subjects, and in the compositions of the objects, in particular the numerous and varied elements that fill the table, with a basket of fruit in the center, which recall our Still Lifes. His figures are presented as overlapping and intertwined bodies, and dominated by faces, in which long eyes stand out, with penetrating expressions, which will then become tormented and suffering looks, a symbol of the suffering of an oppressed people.
