Description : From Book News, Inc.
A lovely book showcasing 50-some extraordinary masks, shown in full- page photos, with interpretive commentary on each mask's character and role on facing pages. This glorious gallery alone could have made a book, but here it is enhanced with text on the four kinds of dramas in which the masks are used, a description of the mask-carving process, and a preface by Princeton anthropologist Hilda Geertz on how the masks function as a part of village life. Photographs are by Paul Schraub. A museum show on Balinese masks, curated by the author, is reported to be touring the US. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
