Description: Masks have fascinated since thousands of years: Since the genesis of the notion of the supernatural, they have existed in all cultures and allow the wearer to transmute into another form of existence. Their cultural significance has changed over time, but what does the mask mean today - in rites, theatre and society? And how do masks inspire the visual arts? This volume shows how artistic positions ranging from Dada, Surrealism and Expressionism to contemporary art focus on the mask. Exhibition: Kunstmuseum Bonn, Germany (30.05. - 25.08.2019).
