Masks play an important role in Mexico?s rich heritage of dances and fiestas. Masks are worn on such ceremonial occasions as Carnival, Holy Week and Days of the Dead. The majority of our masks are handcarved from copal or zompantle wood in the state of Guerrerro.

by Claude Rilly PARIS - If sculpture is the projection of one's thoughts into three dimensions, then the African continent has produced many of the greatest sculptors of all time, even though no single name has ever been passed down. With the permanent exhibition, which occupies three floors of the (too) little known Mus?e Dapper in Paris, we are shown not only the most riveting examples of African art, but also the most disconcerting. Disconcerting because our western minds, despite a century of contemporary art which has been concerned with decompartmentalizing and reconstructing esthetic ideals, always thirst for classifications and categories which are not possible in this context.
