Gedewon

Gedewon Makonnen, called Gedewon (1939–1995), was an Ethiopian artist.

Born in Begemder, Gedewon trained as a cleric in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.

As part of his training, he learned to draw talismans, which soon became much sought-after among Western collectors.

Some of his drawings are now in The Contemporary African Art Collection (CAAC) of Jean Pigozzi.
