Description
Zigoma often signed his works with the triple "P's" of the Poto Poto School of Painting, or Atelier des Peintures de Poto Poto. The school was founded in colonial Congo in 1951 by Pierre Lods (nephew of Jean Lods), in the city of Brazzaville. Lods' aim was to provide a space for creation using modern mediums without employing contemporary stylistic interference. The works of the students at PPP became popular enough to allow expansion and the sales of the works signed "P.P.P." were divided evenly between the students and the school. Zigoma became one of the most recognized artists of the school's post-colonial age, appearing in Life magazine in 1966.
