Hello. I am french and i like your videos very much. I love tribal art and it is nice to watch you because it is obvious you love this kind of art. I do videos of old things i can find, especially tribal art not too expensive. Would you please tell me what you think about the african objects i found, if you have time ? Anyway, thank you for your videos !
The tribalists use the art to collect the dead. These communicate through ordinary telekinesis or sometimes the singing of anthems. The brite songs take them back to their times. The more grotesque the mask, the fonder the memory. The children were not of age. So, they are forgotten.
i'll tell you why, it's bc they raised interest rate, so alot of ppl especially in the real estate market was stagnant, so expendable spending wasn't on my list.
Congratulations on getting your 1000 subscribers !! I don't collect African art but I find your channel interesting and knowledgeable. Living here in British Columbia, Canada we do not have a wealth of African artifacts but we do have First Nations art from Haida and Inuit, and I find the customs and traditions of indigenous people very interesting. I hope to enjoy your channel for many more episodes in the future.
Dear Paul, Thank you very much for your kind comment. I'm very pleased that you enjoy my channel. I personally think First Nations art is great too, but: for one thing, I don't know enough about it. And secondly, it is probably quite complicated to what extent such objects can be traded.
You are right Ingo. The mask at Lucas Ratton is indeed a Dogon mask. It was sold at an auction in Paris in 1993 for 45,000 FRF (6860 EUR) Provenance Jacques Ulmann.
Thanks a lot for your comment. I posted it in a Facebook group, this is the first answer: 'The use of colors, especially the blue, and the naveldecoration are Yoruba style.'

Nice video, I am a sculptor from Nigeria. My style is contemporary using polished rock crystal and mirror polished Stainless steel to bring African art into the modern age. Greetings from Lagos Nigeria 🖐🏾🙂🇳🇬
Hello I would like to know. What do you think about native American art work. I'm a 55 year old half Cherokee half white man and I'm trying to get into the art world. I'm self taught and after getting hurt at work I'm trying to earn a little extra money sense I can no longer do the labor work I did . Here is a sample of my work I'd appreciate a reply it's a short video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--5DCVhjdFzc.htmlsi=JltcrqzMK2lXnnHI

Ohhhh that Hemba post at around 7:11 is magnificent. I also love the little Minkisi from the now DRC,that patina makes me cry and smile at the same time!!😅
A wonderful glimpse into the Tribal arts p[art of BRAFA. One thing.....this was too short and we want more content my friend. I could have swathed you for 30 minutes at least
Haha of course. But I wonder what their turnover is on tribal art. Quite a lot i guess. 98% fakes but also some good things. Even Montagut is selling on Catawiki nowadays.
@@marcust.5754 Catawiki is dificult. I think that they make a good job for Oceania. With Africa, it's not so much the fakes that annoy me, but the stupidly high estimates for this crap. They suggest it's something good.
