1e moitié du 20e siècle.

H 38 X 18 cm socle compris. Le terme d’art inuit regroupe en réalité un grand nombre de groupes ethniques distincts et ne correspond pas à une culture homogène. Cela explique leur grande diversité d’expressions artistiques. Les masques sont largement utilisés pour danser dans les cérémonies ou les festivals religieux. Pendant de nombreuses années, les Inuits ont maintenu un cycle annuel de cérémonies et de célébrations de festivals qui incluaient des soirées arctiques dans les contes, les chants et des prouesses et des spectacles masqués. La raison de ces événements est de solliciter des conseils spirituels avec l’aide des Shamans et de rentrer en contact avec les esprits de la nature.

Dear  African Art lovers,

I hope you are all doing all well and adapting in a new world where social distance is the new normal .. Since May 11 my shop in Antwerp reopened, allowing two people maximum at a time, but since a lot of people don’t travel anymore business is slow, and only one or two people enter my shop every few days. This summer I will not be open all the time and only two people can visit at one time. . So if you want to visit me please check in advance if I am here.

It’s unexpected but I just started a new online auction today that is ending Sunday June 28, 2020 around 8 p.m. Belgian time. Remember: When you bid on Catawiki there is only 9 % on the hammer price, and if you can’t attend the end of the auction the auto-bid function is your best friend. .
