MASKS OF FABLED LANDS/MASQUES DES PAYS DES FABLE.

Masks of Fabled Lands is a visual and art historical inquiry primarily into two of the great mask traditions of Asia, those of Indonesia and the Himalayas. They are well represented in both their Tribal and Classical forms. We see as well masks from the outliers that culturally surround them, i.e. masks from Siberia, Sri Lanka, Japan and New Guinea that help contextualize the whole. An in-depth analytical essay probes the nature of the human psyche that created them as evolving over time. The book is hard bound and bilingual, English and French
