Scope note(s)

  • June 28 - September 4, 1988 (Gallery 5)
  • Using Pacific Northwest Coast Indian masks from MOA’s collection, this exhibition illustrates the tradition of making masks that extends along the entire Northwest culture area from northern Washington State through British Columbia to the Alaskan panhandle. The range of mask types and their use is considerable. They may represent chiefs and ancestors of high rank, or more commonly, serve as a means of making the supernatural world visible. Masks vary in size, shape, complexity and purpose from one tribal group to another. This exhibit combines both historical and contemporary examples of this dramatic art form.
  • Canada House, London, England Travelling Through March 4, 1988
