100 masques pueblos (et même un peu plus) des Indiens hopis, zunis, lagunas..., 2013

Rare First Edition

Language: English & French

In this book, with its unparalleled photographic documentation, the myths, the liturgy, the rites and dances, the decorations, the objetcs and the social role to which these different masks are associated are described. This new approach embraces for the first time a set of pieces by linking them to their dance season, even though their visibility is now almost forbidden, since we can no longer film or photograph the rituals in the villages. This fascinating book completes today the previous title of the two authors, Kachina, messengers of the Hopi and Zuni gods, and allows us to better understand the controversy that surrounded the Hopi masks.
