15Tingatinga is a painting style that originated in
East Africa, one of the most widely represented
forms of tourist-oriented paintings in Tanzania,
Kenya and neighbouring countries. The genre is
named after its founder, Tanzanian painter Edward
Tingatinga.
16Once there was a man called Edward Saidi
Tingatinga. He was born in Mozambique, but during
the 1960s he established an art form that became
associated with his new homeland, Tanzania.
Today, "Tingatinga" is the Tanzanian term for
this form of art, known mostly in Tanzania,
Kenya, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and
Denmark. Over the years, knowledge about
Tingatinga has spread to other parts of Africa
and Europe, as well as to other English-speaking
parts of the world. Tingatinga is a concept that
development assistance workers and African
tourists alike have been drawn to, but which,
over time, has lost its uniqueness. In the past,
Tingatinga art could be sold on its name alone,
but increasingly other works of art are being
presented as "Tingatinga" as well.

24From a purely technical standpoint, Tingatinga
art can be defined as painting on masonite using

majority of the buyers have been foreigners
wanting to transport the images out of the
country by airplane. From that perspective,
Tingatinga is a genuine form of "airport art" -
cultural art from developing nations that has
been adapted to the special requirements of
long-distance travellers, including size
