<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bosko69, post: 9795422, member: 16283&quot;]Found this online (Beware,haven&#039;t quadruple-checked this factoid yet)-&quot;Picasso&#039;s interest in African art was sparked partly by Henri Matisse who showed him a wooden Kongo-Vili figurine. In May or June 1907, Picasso experienced a &quot;revelation&quot; while viewing African art at the ethnographic museum at the Palais du Trocadéro.&quot;</p><p>PS-I will tell you,one of our family&#039;s Great Aunts (rich &amp; 2nd removed) had a room of Tribal Artifacts in her Eureka,CA Victorian manse-most of which were bought before WWI.So these kind of &#039;Curiosities&#039; were collected by missionaries (half the artifacts in China),international travelers,seaman,artists,etc-way before auction houses got out their knives.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
