African masks & art heavily influenced European & Western artistic movements of the late-19th & early-20th centuries - Cubism, ProtoCubism, Fauvism, Expressionism; which soon/later evolved into the currently-popular Minimalism, Mid-Century-Modern & Abstract arts & design. Modern art as we know today, all originated from African art & masks, as well as Oceanic art.
African masks & art also influenced South American & Brazilian, Central American, West Indian & Jamaican, Asian traditional cultures.
Example:
Pablo Picasso (pioneer of Cubism) was an avid collector of African masks & art.
His famous Cubist paintings were heavily influenced by their simplicity & abstract styles; often imitating (ie: straight-up copying/stealing) their design, style, compositions, shapes, sizes, etc.
Additionally, all modern & popular music of the US (which later spread/copied worldwide), were invented by African-Americans & have African roots - gospel, blues, jazz, rock, soul, funk, disco, boogie, rap/hiphop, R&B, house, techno, reggae, Brazilian and more.
African masks & art are spiritual objects & used as a gateway to the spirit-world.
These masks are used for various ceremonies, rituals, celebrations, weddings, initiations, crop-harvests, story-telling, entertainment & music.
African masks & art emulate humans, animals, mythological beings & spirits in an abstract way, sometimes geometrical.
Symbolizing those spirits and reinforced through song & dance during performances.
Embodies spirit of animals as a medium to speak to the animals themselves.
Commercialization of African masks & art for the tourist trade in Africa, rich high-art collectors & “ethnic” shops in the US/Western world, makes it very difficult to identify authenticity, geographical, tribe & cultural origins.
Eg: Zimbabwe tourist-trade mask-makers reproduce masks from different tribes and regions from everywhere in Africa, rather than their own local culture.
Some features & indicators this mask is from Kenya (or Kenyan inspired) are:
Stretched ear lobes, Kolese (matted braids, cornrows), gold detailings,
visible tooth/teeth, a happy jovial expression, etc.

A Brief Lesson in Behavioral Science, Sociology, Psychology, Political Science & Cultural/Arts/Music History & Appreciation:
Homogeny & conformity has run rampant at an exponential rate via mass exposure to trends online, ongoing growth of social media, modernity & by corporate pushed/backed programming/brainwashing (TV, singular-narrative news, Hollywood, celebrity worship, pop-music, fashion, sports, commercials, consumerism, etc.).
Which, in turn, heavily promotes ignorance, self-centeredness, greed, egocentrism, closed-mindedness, elitism, fear of expression, fear to be labelled, destruction of cultures, intolerance, xenophobia, garrison-states, military conditioning & dictator/fascist ideology.
Promotion of mind-expansion & cognition through thought-provoking human creations (eg: non-corporate/commercial/capitalist independent music, arts, traditional culture, crafts), freedom of expression, open-mindedness, eclecticism, tolerance, inclusion of peoples of different cultures & backgrounds, diversity, admiration & preservation of nature, etc. are the only ways to save yourself/ourselves from becoming soul-less, evil, greedy, selfish, destructive, corporate-programmed robots & eternal damnation.
"Love First, Me Second/Last" ideology (of the '50s/'60s Civil Rights Movement) is the foundational state-of-mind/thinking needed in order to save humanity & the planet (other ideologies are based only on self-interest alone). It is the only way to create lasting, positive communities that can transcend nations, that isn't controlled by destructive corporations, religions nor the system.
