Cubist Portrait Mask From The Dogon People Of Mali
A superb Dogon mask, likely depicting a Hogon or a revered ancestor. Note its bold, highly Cubist composition. It’s easy to see how thesetypes of objects sparked a veritable artistic revolution when they arrived in France! Height 32 cm, very beautiful antique patina,hardwood, with indigenous restoration on the top of the skull featuring a forged clasp. Late 19th or very early 20th century.
From a very fine collection assembled by expatriates who lived inAfrica in the 1950s and 1960s, later passed down through inheritance. It’s not always the case, but these cultured individuals took the time to carefully select their pieces on site; they are all superb, and I have several of themfor sale.
