Za Mezo MUMPASI, Bas-Congo, 1945 – DRC, 1991 Lot n° 31

Untitled (The woman and her child). Oil on canvas. 60 x 93,5. Signed, dated 1977, framed. He won the Grand prize of the 1968 National Competition and joined the Institute of National Museums in 1974. Mumpasi is a deep believer, who shows through in his religious compositions. Very close to Congolese daily life, he transposes with great finesse the traditional life and biblical scenes in his work.
