The interest in sculpture identified as Senufo was largely stimulated by its discovery by the artistic avant-garde in the early twentieth century. Pablo Picasso and Fernand Léger were among those to find inspiration in the oeuvre of their West African counterparts."</ref>

The term ''Senufo'' has become a category to art collectors and scholars, a symbolism for the artistic traditions of West Africa, starting with the early twentieth century. Old pieces of Senufo art are found in many leading museums of the world.<ref>[http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/smpa/hd_smpa.htm Senufo Sculpture from West Africa: An Influential Exhibition at The Museum of Primitive Art, New York, 1963], Susan Elizabeth Gagliardi (2010), Art History Department, Emory University</ref>
