Entitled "Picasso Primitif", the exhibition aims to show "a
comparative view of his works with those of non-Western artists"
from Africa, Oceania, the Americas and Asia, according to the
Quai de Branly museum.
Items on display include Picasso's "Women's Head" painting,
where the subject's prominent forehead, teeth and hole in lieu
of cheeks are reminiscent of an anthropomorphic mask from Ivory
Coast, while a 1919 striped hexagonal-shaped mask by him appears
to give a modern twist to such traditional African pieces.
"Picasso Primitif" runs from Tuesday until July.
