African Tribal Art Calendar – Alexandre Jacovleff’s The Forgotten Expedition, Semi-Glossy Paper

Few artists have captured the world with the same restless curiosity and classical mastery as Alexandre Jacovleff. Born in Saint Petersburg and trained at the Imperial Academy of Arts, this remarkable Russian artist combined rigorous neoclassical draughtsmanship with a spirit of adventure that took him across Africa, Asia, China, Mongolia, and Japan. His participation in the Citroën expedition across the Sahara desert and Equatorial Africa produced a celebrated body of african painting and ethnic african art, published in the landmark volume Drawings & Paintings from Africa and recognised by the French government with the prestigious Legion of Honor. With a rare ability to blend folk painting traditions, classical art, and a deeply humanist gaze, Jacovleff created portraits and scenes of extraordinary presence, dignity, and beauty that continue to resonate with collectors and art lovers worldwide.

This calendar brings together a curated selection of Jacovleff’s most evocative images, chosen for their visual richness, cultural depth, and decorative power. It is designed to be a true conversation starter, bringing the spirit of african wall art, african home decor, and african tribal art into your home with elegance and intention. Once the year is over, the pages can be cut out and framed as distinctive prints—whether kept for yourself or gifted to friends who appreciate bold, meaningful art rooted in a remarkable life of travel, discovery, and artistic mastery.

Customers in the United States will receive the calendar in Ledger size (11×16.5 inches), while those in the EU, UK, Australia, and other regions will receive it in A3 size (29.7×42 cm).
