From Zimbabwe: When I look at Shona sculptures I see where Picasso and Cubism was influenced by African art

Funny... Picasso couldn't know the Shona sculpture since it was (re)created by Frank McEwen by the end of the 1950's. He asked his zimbabwean student to work on their ancestors legendaries and... organized a Picasso exhibition in Salisbury (now Harare) to inspire them.
