Dignitary belt - Kuba Bushoong - DR Congo

This sale presents a set of works originating from the studio of a Belgian painter, gathered over time through his discoveries, encounters, and affinities. The artists have often cultivated a privileged link with African arts: sensitive to the strength of forms, the simplicity of volumes, and the expressiveness of materials, they were among the first to view these objects as anything other than mere curiosities. Their eye, naturally attentive to lines and balance, led them to collect these works and, sometimes, to draw inspiration from them. This collection thus bears witness to an intimate dialogue between artistic creation, the collector’s gaze, and a fascination with shapes from elsewhere.
