Spoon - Dan - Côte d'Ivoire

This sale offers a set of works from the studio of a Belgian painter, gathered over time according to his discoveries, encounters and affinities. The artists often maintained a privileged connection with primitive arts: sensitive to the power of forms, to the simplicity of volumes and to the expressiveness of materials, they were among the first to view these objects differently than as 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 gaze and a fascination with forms from elsewhere.
