Talisman - Akan - Ghana

This sale presents a collection of works from the studio of a Belgian painter, gathered over time through his discoveries, encounters and affinities. The artists have often maintained a privileged relationship with 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 differently from mere curiosities. Their eye, naturally attentive to lines and balance, 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 perspective of a collector and a fascination with forms from elsewhere.
