About the Item
A VERY rare Tigre (TIGER) Dance Mask Zitlala Guerrero, Mexico.
Anonymous Deep Yellow Tigre Dance Mask.
Early 20th C. Zitlala Guerrero, Mexico.
Painted leather and fur.
Museum-quality example.
This Dance Masks were acquired from a serious collector of Mexican and Oceanic folk art.
This style of Tigre (Mexican colloquial for Jaguar) mask is from Zitlala, Guerrero.
They are used on the feast day of the Holy Cross on May 3-5.
As part of the activities, men from different barrios put on jaguar costumes and carry out fierce fighting competitions that involve beating each other over the head with knotted rope.
The fighting is considered a crucial aspect in petitioning the deities for rain.
The impressive masks are made in leather and worn over the head to protect the wearer from injury.
The leather is painted green or yellow, depending on which barrio the participant is from.

Outsider Art Wall Sculpture: 'Numbers'
By Gerard Cambon
Located in New York, NY
Gérard Cambon was born in 1960 in Toulouse (Fr).
He has a degree in political science and is a self-taught artist.
In the earlier years of his life practiced and experimented with collage and model making. Later, with an interest in old machines and patinas he started collecting old and used objects, tools, and fragments of items whose previous lives remained obvious. When he travels, one of his greatest pleasures is to find materials in antique shops or ironmongeries.
In 1994, he began creating Locomobiles and reliefs and presented them to the public for the first time at “La Jeune Peinture,” a Parisian art fair.
In 1995 , he stayed during 8 months in the hospital for eight months (leukaemia) where he began preparing and creating plans for new Locomobiles and reliefs. As his health improved, he committed himself to his artwork and during the same year met a Parisian gallery owner who decided to organize a solo show for him, Le Galerie Beatrice Soulie in Saint Germain des Pres.
He has shown his work since 1996 in Paris and since 2000 in the United States (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle). He is currently being shown by galleries in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg , Denmark, and the United States.
He keeps on trying out new materials (fabric, leather, glass, plants, metals,…) that he integrates into his bas-reliefs: traction engines...
