Blondiau-Theatre Arts collection of primitive African art : on exhibition, February 7th to March 5th, 1927, The New Art Circle
This is a 1927 exhibition catalogue from New York's Theatre Arts Monthly, presenting Raoul Blondiau's collection of African art for the New Art Circle show held February 7 to March 5. The four photographs show carved African objects: a wooden vessel with a face at its rim, a pale mask with a banded headband, and two standing figures, one frontal and one in profile. A designer could draw on their sculptural simplicity, strong frontal faces, and the compressed, blocky forms of the carving.
