Description
There is a known type of mask enough of the public but the study was never truly enterprise. Often called “masks lions” by specialists, they are the opposite of the generally conceived of Luba art. There is no question here of soft, feminine faces lost in distant, so distant dream thoughts. Here the eyes are open, and no longer dream, perhaps never dreamed. The features are as many male qu’animaliers. The muscles are tense, clenched by a duration that can reach the fawn, but alas, too often, man. These masks are few in public and private collections, they appear as a vision violenteau middle of an art “domesticated” by refinement. They are the bad dream, the disturbance from a peaceful aesthetic commonly accepted.
