Label TextSurrealists were also attracted to the aesthetic and symbolic traditions of Northwest Coast art. Carvers created a great variety of masks - some depicting mythic beings and other portraying men and women. Once owned by Andre Lhote, this particular mask is a stylized representation of a man with elaborate facial painting around the forehead, eyes and cheeks.Exhibition History"Art Des Indiens D'Amerique Du Nord Dans La Collection D'Eugene Thaw," Mona Bismarck Foundation, Paris, France, Somogy Editions D'Art, January 21, 2000 - March 18, 2000.
