Description:	Inspired by the vast legacy of the Mexican mask tradition, it has been my intention to create a new type of mask to suit the sensibility of modern man and to reintegrate its use in society as a vital means of cultural and artistic expression. By blending figurative realism with natural elements, a new image is gestated which is simultaneously human and animal. This new mask strips away our civilized veneer in order to stress our instinctual impulses. A symbolic link is established between man and nature which echoes a primal message of man's dependency on animals and a cosmic order. The furs and horns can be likened to the NAGUAL (an Aztec tem used to describe the Guardian Spirit of Man), while emphasizing his animal characteristic and nature. Thus the term NAGUAL MASK is used to describe this modern style of mask.

Description:	Masks: Masks are not ornamental. I will never believe that they are. They are absolutely functional. In that sense, I suppose they cannot be considered fine art. But equally clearly they are more than craft. This then, puts masks in a particular category along with the petroglyphs of cave art, magical objects, and some religious art. Masks have a special function, an intent to enable and transform. When someone puts on a mask, he or she intends to become someone or something else, whether in play or in serious intent. In that transformation the person intends to gain power or insight.

Description:	The magic fascination of Venice is its history, its past, its ever-lasting tradition; it gives life to precious and special forms of art. Of all the expressive forms, the mask is the object which most represents the Venetian spirit, a spirit of feasting and enjoyment. In the wake of this tradition,in Calle dei Nomboli near S. Tom?, opposite the house in which Carlo Goldoni was born,GUALTIERO DALL'OSTO, a graduate of the Accademy of Fine Arts of Venice, keeps this ancient art of mask- making alive in his TRAGICOMICA workshop.
