- NEW IRELAND MASK OR HEAD, HAVING ORIGINAL
NEW IRELAND MASK OR HEAD, HAVING ORIGINAL PAINT AND HAI...New Ireland Mask or Head, having original paint and hair, depicting jumping fish on top as well as black snakes circling the face, small section missing from far right lower side, height 25 1/2 inches, with stand 30 1/2 inches. New Ireland is one of several islands in the Bismarck Archipelago and politically part of Papua New Guinea. These islands were given English names by Carteret in 1767. Most objects in museums and private collections are from the northern half of New Ireland and are associated with the Malagan tradition of funerary art. Malagan is a generic term that describes groups of tribal ceremonies and the various figures, masks, and carvings of painted lime wood (Alstonia sp) associated with them. Statues and masks were carefully carved and painted with black, red, and yellow mineral pigments (the blue color was introduced by Europeans.) Some masks were held in the hand rather than placed over the head. After they were used, they were discarded because the spirit in the object was no longer in it. These tribal ceremonies intrigued western visitors. Richard Parkinson described these as "ceremonies consisting of great feasts and dancing which are performed using head masks." This mask (or head) was carried by a handle and most likely depicts jumping fish on top as well as black snakes circling the face. (A small section of the snake is missing from the front right side of the mask.) Before the First World War these masks and sculptures fascinated avant-garde artists and intellectuals; while after 1918 the Surrealists in France were instrumental in including several of them in important shows.

PABLO PICASSO, SPAIN / FRANCE (1881 - 1973), GOAT WITH SHEPHERD PLAYING FLUTE, POCHOIR, 18 1/4"H X 23 1/2"WPablo Picasso, Spain / France, (1881 - 1973) goat with shepherd playing flute, pochoir signed upper left in the print. Biography from Ella Walton Richardson Fine Art: While originally from Malaga, Spain, Pablo Picasso nurtured his artistic talents in Barcelona as a youth before moving to France in 1906, where he tapped into the nerve of the Parisian art community alongside Braque and Matisse and joined later by Miro and Chagall. Within the context of this creative environment and with war and social uprising always on his doorstep, Picasso cut new paths, experimented with virtually every medium available to him, and ultimatly created work that was nothing less than revolutionary and captivating. Throughout his long artistic a career, the bulk of his energy was devoted to depicting the human form in thought-provoking and often unorthodox ways. Nowhere, in his massive body of art more apparent than among his graphic works. Pablo Picasso, a great draftsman and a master of the line , expressed "the graphic arts are...my favorite medium of expression." The process of printmaking requires a balance of mastery and inventiveness and Picasso possessed both. He was imaginative with the use of traditional methods and was able to coax out new and inventive techniques to further is artistic intent in printmaking. Phillippe de Montebello, former Director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, explained, "Picasso, the foremost painter and sculptor of our century, is also its greatest printmaker. The more he is studied the more one percieves how intimately related are the life and the images he created, Nowhere in his oeuvre is this better demonstrated than in his prints." pochoir Dimensions: 18 1/4"H x 23 1/2"W
