Description
LITTLE, Marc. A Mask Discovered. Views On Primitive Art From The Himalayas. Paris: Stock/Aldines, 1995. 286 pages. Cloth binding under illustrated dust jacket, housed in cardboard slipcase. Very fine copy. Shapes have more memory than men. What emerges there, in all these silent, serious or laughing faces, draws the relief of a submerged continent: the old Asia of shamans and possession cults. Faced with the codified formulas of Indian and Tibetan classicism, the primitive art of the Himalayas asserts its singularity, its power of invention and its humor, its poetry and its expressive force. For the first time, a book makes these unknown forms visible and legible in a dialogue between image and word, the mask and its double: essay, travelogue and aesthetic summary, work of both passion and reflection.
