Mention of Plastic Masks

The section mentions Ensor "Attracted by masks' plastic forms, bright colors, and potential for psychological impact, he created a format in which he could paint with complete freedom". However, plastic was not invented until 1907. Were the masks made of another medium? Duggster522 (talk) 21:35, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is not entirely clear to me exactly what was intended. Painting and sculpture are sometimes referred to as "the plastic arts" because the artist's media are molded and shaped into whatever form the artists desires. But I don't know if that is how it is being used here. It could be reworded. WiLaFa (talk) 23:34, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
