Synopsis
Since Antiquity humanity has masked itself. The mask hides the face, but this very act reveals the presence of a double. The mask gives birth to mystery: it belongs, at the same time, to the sacred and the profane, to truth and vanity, to reality and fiction.
The exhibition catalogue presents a vast array of works of art: from the mask of Dyonisus (5th century BC) to Man Ray's photos, but also Mantegna's and Callot's etchings, the watercolors for Louis XIV's court theatre, the death masks of the Italian and French Renaissance, the Mannerist Gorgon heads sculpted on the parade shields to imitate the petrifying head of the Gorgon on Athena's shield.
The catalogue examines the religious role of the mask in Greek theatre, its expressive, playful and at times diabolical force in feasts, balls and the Italian Commedia, its role in funerary contexts (death mask) and its apotropaic function in burials. It also investigates its uses as ornamental element (large, grotesque masks).

Masques Mascarades Mascarons. De l'Antique Aux Romantiques
Seller: Libro Co. Italia Srl, San Casciano Val di Pesa, FI, Italy
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Brossura. Condition: new. Edited by F. Viatte, D. Cordellier, V. Jeammet.French Text.Milano, 2014; paperback, pp. 272, b/w and col. ill. and plates, cm 24,5x28. Fin dall'antichità, in Occidente, l'uomo si è sempre mascherato. La maschera nasconde il viso, ma questo occultamento rivela, in realtà, la presenza di un doppio. La maschera appartiene allo stesso tempo al registro del sacro e del profano, alla realtà e alla finzione. Spaventa e seduce, imita e inganna. Il catalogo di questa mostra del Louvre si articola attorno a 5 temi: il teatro, la morte, la Gorgone, il mascherone, l'illusione. L'esposizione si caratterizza per la varietà delle opere esposte e per l'ampiezza dell'arco cronologico in considerazione: dalla maschera di Dioniso, datata al V secolo a. C., fino alle foto di Man Ray, passando per i disegni di putti del Mantegna, le incisioni di Callot, gli acquarelli delle maschere per le rappresentazioni teatrali alla corte di Luigi XIV. Attraverso le opere esposte sarà esaminata la funzione religiosa della maschera nel teatro greco, la sua forza espressiva, ludica e anche un po' diabolica nelle feste e nella Commedia italiana, il suo ruolo nei contesti funerari e la sua funzione apotropaica in quelli tombali. S'indagherà anche la sua duplicità e il suo utilizzo come elemento ornamentale, dove prende la forma del mascherone. Libro. Seller Inventory # 2810387
