This beautiful book was born out of the passion and artistic
insight of Marnix Neerman and Hugo Martens. One hundred and
twenty-eight masks have been photographed in such a unique style
that their artistic nature is revealed to the utmost. Each mask has
been shot from the front and from the rear, and detail shots reveal
each mask as an almost autonomous work of art. And yet, these masks
are not considered works of art in their countries of origin, but
rather tools that have a function and a meaning in socio-religious
life. Many of these masks have never been displayed or published
before and come from reference collections such as the Museum for
Middle Africa in Tervuren, Belgium; the Etnographic Museum in
Antwerp and private collections in Belgium, France, UK and USA.
'African Faces' was produced in cooperation with the archive of the
Yale university, "Tribal Art" magazine, "Parcours des Mondes" in
Paris and many other experts and will become a future reference
work when it comes to the African mask; the powerful photographs
accentuate the artistic value of the masks like never before.
