Olowe of Ise (Yoruba: Ọlọ́wẹ̀ of Ìsẹ̀; c. 1873 – c. 1938) is considered by Western art historians and collectors to be one of the most important 20th century artists of the Yoruba people of what is today Nigeria, Africa. He was a wood sculptor and master innovator in the African style of design known as oju-ona. Olowe's celebrated status as an artist was recorded by his contemporaries in Yoruba oral praise poetry known as oriki. For instance, this example sung by one of his wives was recorded in 1988.

has abstract	Olowe d'Ise est le plus célèbre sculpteur traditionnel yoruba (v. 1873 - v.1938), originaire de la région d'Ekiti dans l'actuel Nigeria. Il met son art au service du roi de sa région, l'Arinjale, puis au service d'autres souverains du pays yoruba. Il accède à la reconnaissance internationale en 1924, lorsque le British Museum acquiert deux portes sculptées pour le palais d'Ikere. Cette œuvre, sculptée vers 1910, retrace la rencontre du souverain d'Ikere (l'Ogoga) avec un émissaire de l'administration coloniale britannique. Olowe d'Ise y développe un style d'une grande originalité narrative. Une cinquantaine d'œuvres lui sont attribuées. Il s'agit de portes, de poteaux de véranda, d'objets rituels, la plupart du temps en bois peint. L'exemple d'Olowe d'Ise est parfois allégué pour montrer que l'anonymat n'est pas une caractéristique canonique de l'art africain. La notoriété d'Olowe d'Ise reste cependant exceptionnelle. En plus d'être honoré par ses contemporains dans des chants de louange ou Oriki, Olowe était responsable, en tant que maître sculpteur, d'un atelier où les apprentis sculpteurs pouvaient se former. En 1998, le National Museum of African Art de la Smithsonian Institution lui a consacré une grande retrospective et un important catalogue. (fr) Olowe of Ise (Yoruba: Ọlọ́wẹ̀ of Ìsẹ̀; c. 1873 – c. 1938) is considered by Western art historians and collectors to be one of the most important 20th century artists of the Yoruba people of what is today Nigeria, Africa. He was a wood sculptor and master innovator in the African style of design known as oju-ona. Olowe, originally Olowere, was born in Efon-Alaiye, a town known as a major cultural centre in Yorubaland, but he lived most of his life in the city of Ise. He was initially employed as a messenger at the court of King Arinjale, the Oba of Ise. It is a matter of dispute whether his artistic career began as an apprenticeship or arose purely from his own natural talent. His fame as a sculptor appears to have begun at Ise under the patronage of Arinjale before spreading throughout eastern Yorubaland. Olowe was summoned to Ilesa, Ikere, Akure, Idanre, Ogbagi and other towns located within a 60-mile radius (96.75 kilometers) to create elaborate household (such as doors and veranda posts), personal and ritual objects for wealthy families. Olowe's celebrated status as an artist was recorded by his contemporaries in Yoruba oral praise poetry known as oriki. For instance, this example sung by one of his wives was recorded in 1988. (en)
