In the past we’ve had dedicated weeks at the Artlog celebrating maquettes and puppets, and I plan further explorations of those themes. However, following on from my recent posts about the grass-mask by maker Phil Clarke, I’m preparing a week-long celebration of masks, and it kicks off tomorrow with one of the more sinister manifestations of the mask-maker’s art, the Schandmaske.

Clive Hicks-Jenkins' Artlog: 
Those Saul Steinberg masks are brilliant – so strikingly simple – another great discovery made via the Artlog
looking forward to mask week!
Whenever I think of masks I always think of Saul Steinberg and those wonderful photos of people wearing bags on their heads.
I await the delights you’ll select.
I’ve always loved those Steinberg images, Lesley. Right up my street.
I hope the yak-hair (wasn’t it yak hair?) masks out of your past will make an appearance…
Well, I planned looking at masks in general, rather than at my own mask work. But as you ask, I won’t rule it out. Let’s see how things go. (And yes, they were made from Yak hair.)
oh, you’ve certainly peaked my curiosity here! i am wondering about this mask above, and very intrigued about this schandmaske…
I think you’ll find them interesting yet rather horrifying.
