The masks of Dempsey Bob

Sean Murphy, an old schoolfriend of mine from the Penzance phase of my childhood, lives in Canada these days. And, likeme, he loves his art. And so the other day he cycled down to the Museum of Fine Arts in Montreal to see an incredible exhibition of masks made by Dempsey Bob, a First Nations Master Sculptor from British Columbia. The masks are spectacular and I'm rather envious.
