典雅的鵝蛋形,是它迷人的藝術語彙。

丹族居住在在象牙海岸西部和賴比瑞亞之間,龐大的人數孕育他們豐富的文化。其中面具在他們的世界裡是很重要的藝術形式,代表茂盛的精神灌注了森林的活力,擁有保護權力的力量並出現在各種社交、政治上的集會。

面具|
隨著視野清楚的圓形眼窩面具,特色有分為兩種: 賽跑面具(gunye ge)和火面具(zakpei ge),前者是在乾旱季節每周舉辦賽跑比賽,這些比賽是為了要測驗年輕的戰士。火面具也是在同個時期會出現,為了要視察生火煮飯以防止隨時可能會發生的火災。

而狹長的雙眼和前額環繞的編線及貝殼裝飾的面具,為女性雅致的特色,使用於很多目的,其中最主要的是配戴著舞蹈歌唱來娛樂。這一形式的面具舞蹈者專攻歌唱,表達出影響社會的權力,也視為法官和正義和平的扮演。

還有一種是青少年或侍衛配戴的護照面具,有些在眼睛周圍會有白色的礦物色料,除了是保護的象徵外,也在慶祝活動上出現,或許因為白色有歡樂的意思。

雕像|
丹族的女性人物雕像被認為是聲望的象徵,主要是富裕人家所擁有,通常是他們理想妻子的個人肖像,若是母子雕像則是孕育的象徵,只有在重要場合才會出現。

西班牙藝術大師畢卡索 Pablo Picasso(1881-1973) 曾經在一次機會中見到丹族面具,隨後開啟非洲部落時期(黑色時期)的繪畫風格,而演變出立體主義的世界。丹族作品在那溫柔的面容下,強烈的雕塑感傳達去他們想表達的期許,在現代的我們看來那是一股優雅的自然美。
