Kachina dolls!
“In the early 20th century, pioneering artists like Marcel Duchamp, André Breton, Max Ernst and Emil Nolde fell under the spell of these colorful wooden dolls. Heeding the call of the katsinam, they contributed to our discovery of the myths, ceremonies and art of the Hopi and Zuni. Later in the century, Marc Chagall, Georgia O’Keefe, and Andy Warhol among countless other prominent figures in the art world, kept drawing inspiration from katsina figures. In the 21st century, contemporary artists, writers, choreographers and art lovers are
following in their steps."

This is an excerpt from the new essay written by Julien Flak for the auction catalog of the Alan Kessler collection.
This collection includes an exceptional number of masterworks of Hopi and Zuni art.

During our exhibition at @parcoursdesmondes Philip

During our exhibition at @parcoursdesmondes Philippe Charlier and Diana Widmaier-Ruiz-Picasso discovered this stunning mask from Liberia.
This exceedingly rare example of “transformation” mask (half human half elephant) was invested with the powers given by the absorption of medicinal plants. It served as a powerful agent of social control by secret societies of the We/Wobe or neighboring peoples of Northern Liberia.
