The Wee (or Gere) are Kru-speaking people from the Guinea Coast. This mask was owned by Picasso, purchased in 1914 from his friend, the dealer Paul Guillaume (1891-1934). Dealer of Chaim Soutine and Amedeo Modigliani, he was one of the first to organize African art exhibitions. The Wee people use such masks to resolve disputes in their communities.
