Last month I found and shared  information about artist Lois Mailou Jones. I’m curious about African masks so I continue to explore the subject. I really enjoyed how she used these sculptures in her compositions. The above image is Les Fetiches, which displays multiple mask resting one over the other.

Additional art works with similar themes.
