Description:

|
Now in a private collection, previously purchased by Picasso in Marseille in 1912, on a trip with Georges Braque. Both the wood and the vegetable fibers of the dance mask have been blackened. The Kru or Kroo are a West African ethnic group who originated in eastern Liberia and migrated and settled along various points of the West African coast. (Source: Le Fur, Yves, ed.; Through the Eyes of Picasso: Face to Face with African and Oceanic Art, Paris: Editions Flammarion, 2017 (978-2-08-020319-9))
