Contemporarily, Grebo masks are most commonly known for their influence on Pablo Picasso’s work. Picasso is accredited (along with Georges Braque) with the creation of cubism, a style of art which depicts subjects in 2D, combining multiple angles of perspective into one image. One of Picasso’s most well known works is Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, a painting of five naked women with angular bodies and faces. The faces of these women were inspired by a Grebo mask purchased by Picasso in the early 1900s and served as inspiration to him as he and Braque developed Cubism.
