Influences Picasso and Matisse
Picasso incorporated the ceremonial masks of the Dogon tribe into his groundbreaking cubist work, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907-09). As Picasso addressed geometry and form, Henri Matisse drew upon African art to unite bold color and ceremonial patterns with results that spearheaded the Fauve masterpiece, The Green Stripe (1912). Matisse's treatise, Notes of a Painter, described how his arbitrary use of bold color stirred the emotions and related to the ritualistic origins of African art. While the pioneers of early 20th century European modernism connected African art to painting, sculptors across the Atlantic surveyed the history of Africa's totems and carvings. The American direct carvers (e.g., William Zorach, Chaim Gross, Jo Davison) worked in the early decades of the 20th century and reintroduced curators, collectors, and connoisseurs to the physical nature of sculpting via the forms of the Dark Continent. In the history of sculpture, the American direct carvers rejected Rodin's cast-bronze stronghold in favor of direct carving in wood.
good luck!
