African masks
The mask in Black Africa represents, with the statuary, an important element of the plastic creation. Both are situated in the heart of the traditional socio-religious life. It is at the end of the XIXth century when the African art becomes widely accessible(approachable) to the European collectors and gives to the biggest artists, the painters and the sculptors, confirmation of the legitimacy of their searches(researches) and justification of the use of forms of expression freed(franked) from the representational naturalism. R. Fry Assert from 1920: " the main merit of the African sculpture, it is its total plastic freedom... It seems that the passage of a plane surface in a round-bump raises them no problem.

Fagg: " all the objects to which the name of " mask " must be attributed(awarded) can define themselves in two words: they mask
