Old Mask - Kuba - DR Congo

This sale offers a collection of works from the studio of a Belgian painter, assembled over time as a result of his discoveries, encounters and affinities. The artists often cultivated a privileged relationship with the arts of the Orient/primitive arts: sensitive to the strength of forms, the simplicity of volumes and the expressiveness of materials, they were among the first to view these objects as more than mere curiosities. Their eye, naturally attentive to lines and balances, led them to collect these works and, sometimes, to draw inspiration from them. This collection thus bears witness to an intimate dialogue between artistic creation, the collector’s eye, and a fascination with forms coming from elsewhere.
