AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
- Private collection inherited from a Frenchman who traveled in Central Africa in the 1960s-70s.
Having participated in public health missions in remote villages, André was thereby sensitized to the arts of the peoples, their forms and their uses.
As was often customary, the services rendered were rewarded with gifts at departure, among which masks, statues and other objects charged with meaning.
The set of several dozen pieces was also complemented by on-site purchases in Bujumbura in particular as well as in France thereafter. -
