"Negro sculptures provide a striking proof of the possibilities of an anti-idealistic art. Inspired by religious spirit, they offer a varied and precise representation of great principles and universal ideas. How can one deny the name of art to a creative process which produces individualistic representations of universal ideas, each time in a different way. It is the reverse of Greek art, which started from the individual and attempt to suggest an ideal type."
Juan Gris - Cubist Painter in "Action" no 3, April 1920
