Transformative influence of African tribal sculpture Picasso’s epiphany in June 1907 at the ethnographic museum in Paris

Georges Braque: “It is as if someone had drunk kerosene to spit fire."

“My first exorcism painting….

For me the masks were not just sculptures. They were magical objects...intercessors...against everything - against unknown threatening spirits....They were weapons . . . to keep people from being ruled by spirits. To help them free themselves. . . . If we give a form to these spirits we become free."
