Leo Frobenius was an eccentric personality, a reading man without formal academic titles, an untiring traveler and writer, an adventurer in many respects, an irrationalist and antimodernist, a monarchist, and a (German) colonialist, who nevertheless believed in Africa's cultural sovereignty and humanity's timeless ability to express itself in elementary art, such as rock pictures, myth telling, and mask dancing
