From left to right: Figure with elephant (Bamileke People, Cameroon), Calau (Baga People, Guinea), and Skull with green and red lips (José de Guimarães, Portugal). Unlike scientific or anthropology museums, the choice of objects in the CIAJG collection corresponds to José de Guimarães' sensibility as an "artist-collector" or "artist-ethnologist. These are relationships that simultaneously engender empathy and fetishism. From left to right, the works date from the 20th century, 20th century and 1985.
