Beskrivelse:

"The influence on twentieth century Western art of the Tribal Sculpture of African, Oceanic, and other peoples of the world's developing countries demonstrates the vitality that can result from cultural interaction. It is also a measure of the debt that modern culture owes these peoples. At the outset of the (20th) Century, Western eyes were insensitive to the beauty , power and subtlety of the tribal arts. But if the word "primitive" was until then used almost in a pejorative sense, it fell to the greatest and most innovative modern artists to give the word a sense both positive and vital - as when Picasso declared that "primitive sculpture has never been surpassed." Through their admiration for tribal art, and as a result of the inspiration they drew from it, modern art has been immeasurably enriched, and its public has been helped to appreciate variety of great works remote from it's own traditions."
