Masks That Link Craft And History

Description:	by Leslie S. Bryan ( + PHOTOS OF THE MASKS ) Getting ready for Halloween? No, the 90 masks displayed earlier this spring at the Morris Museum (NJ) were not designed only for the popular children?s holiday. They are part of everyday life, as announced in the exhibit?s title: ?Mexican Masks of the 20th Century, A Living Tradition.? The traveling exhibit, which opens May 11 in Ft. Meyer, Florida and will remain there until July 12, features familiar face decoration in a context that links the craft of construction to a people?s long and complex history.

Italian Dance

Description:	Commedia dell'Arte With its origins in Renaissance Italy (early 16th Century) the Commedia dell'Arte was one of the earliest forms of theatre as we know it today. Starting with traveling troupes of street performers donning masks to draw attention to themselves, these players soon teamed-up and started taking on more defined characters, and Commedia dell'Arte was born. Starting in Italy, troupes moved into all of Europe, influencing theatre in Spain, Holland, Germany, Austria, England, and especially, France.

Masks, a poem by J.McConnell

Description:	Don't be fooled by the face I wear For I wear a thousand masks And none of them are me Don't be fooled, for God's sake, don't be fooled I give the impression that I'm secure That confidence is my name, and coolness is my game And that I need no one, but don't believe me Underneath lies the real me............

Mask-making recovers the soul by Linea Enockson / USA

Description:	I first cast a basecast of my face. The second step is to build a mask on top of my face/basecast using various clays. Next the clay mask is removed from the basecast and decorated. The clay mask retains the imprint of my face on its underside while the front of the mask may look nothing like me. Each mask I create involves this cycle of connection and separation.
