Chéri SAMBA (1956) "What future for our art?" (Picasso and Chéri Samba), mixed media on canvas, signed lower right, 77 x 96 cm, certificate. Note: the text reads: “WHAT FUTURE FOR OUR ART IN A WORLD WHERE MOST LIVING ARTISTS ARE OPPRESSED? ... THERE IS ONLY ONE SOLUTION: TO BE ACCEPTED IN FRANCE. IT SEEMS THAT AN ARTIST ACCEPTED IN FRANCE IS UNDOUBTEDLY ACCEPTABLE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE WORLD... AND WHEN WE SAY FRANCE, WE MEAN THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART. YES, BUT... ISN’T THIS MUSEUM OF MODERN ART RACIST???’”.
