To really feel the charm of African masks, you need to be in a specific environment. Masks can only show their true charm if they are accompanied by specific costumes, hair accessories and movements and dance passionately in dazzling fire and music. Of course, this charm is not only artistic, but also reflects an ancient and mysterious custom and culture. As malraux, a French literary critic, said, "The African mask is not the solidification of human expression, but the phantom of ghosts ... The antelope mask does not represent the antelope, but represents the spirit of the antelope, and the style of the mask has created its spirit." Therefore, only by knowing more background knowledge can we get the highest artistic and emotional pleasure.
With the development of history, the functions and users of African masks are constantly changing. Nowadays, this unique and diverse mask has developed into an independent art, and many masks have gone out of tribes and Africa and are loved and treasured by people all over the world.
