Are African masks a type of surrealism?
No. Surrealism is an art movement that originated in Europe in the 1920s. It took a great deal of inspiration from African art, notably masks, as the cubists had done before them. However, most African masks had been made a long time before the 1920s, and any that appeared after would have been part of the African art tradition rather than the surrealist one. So it doesn't make sense to call African masks 'surrealist'.
