To its right: Francis Picabia&#8217;s painting, Monstre (1946). The French artist Andr\u00e9 Breton once owned the Alaskan wooden mask (ca. 1890\u20131910) that a gallery paired alongside one of Francis Picabia\u2019s monster paintings. Surrealist artists long admired these Yup\u2019ik masks from the central Alaskan coast, which were made in the hopes of divining bountiful hunts. Breton, Man Ray, and Yves Tanguy all collected the masks beginning in 1934. They saw it as Surrealism from another time and place. African masks are not the only tribal art that had an influence on the modern art of Europe.<\/p>\n<p>The second mask is older and is from the Nunivak Islands in Alaska. It is Eskimo (about1880) with wood, cormorant feathers, sinew, pigment, fur, linseed oil, with later addition of shellac.
