The African masks in african art are dramatic portraits of spirit beings,
departed ancestors, and invisible powers of social control. Each mask was made
according to a traditional style, and each was worn by a trained performer. The
African masks that hang on walls of Western art museums, detached from their
full-body costumes, were originally part of whole performance ensembles,
consisting of elaborately costumed dancers, vibrant music, and highly stylized
dances. These complex ceremonial events expressed important social, religious,
and moral values for the whole community. With careful attention to the masks'
artistic and symbolic detail, it is possible to perceive these same values
within the masks themselves.
All the masks on this website exhibition are from the African art collection
in the African antiques art shop, unless otherwise indicated and can be visited
in Antwerp (find address at bottom of page). We have Museum quality pieces
minimum 50 years old.
The african mask you see above is an Eastern Pende Panya-Yombe mask
panel that what used to decorate the Man's house and part of David Norden
collection.
