Customer comments on this selection. imbued with symbolism Fava talks about an old and now rather minor art form. The use of comic masks in certain traditional Italian dramas. The book explains how the masks form the central aspect of the plays. Imbued with symbolism and spectacle. Naturally, the book includes many lovely colour plates of contemporary masks. These show a hilarious level of caricature and workmanship. Plus, some plates are centuries-old paintings or sketches of performers wearing these masks in various dramas. Establishing a vivid historical antecedant for what you are reading.
