Inhaltsangabe:
Concentrating specifically on the portrait, John Stezaker's 'Masks' series reflects the artist's ongoing interest with the hidden face. Stezaker's long-term fascination with the image is translated into alterations, deletions, visual concordances and juxtapositions of disparate sources, intuitively creating new images and relationships. Notions of the interior and exterior and blindness are key to Stezaker's 'Masks' series. Found postcard images obscure and replace the subject's physiognomy - leaving a 'surround' of hair, neck and clothes - and cavernous landscapes take the place of facial features to form new characters and meanings. Accompanying over 60 full-colour illustrations, a text from Caoimhin Mac Giolla Leith discusses the imagined narrative possibilities of the artist's superimposed images and collages.

About the book >.>.> It is not difficult to provide a description of the basic composition and general effect of any one of the numerous photomontages produced over the past quarter of a century or so by John Stezaker, to which he refers collectively as the Masks. A single, standard-size vintage picture postcard, sometimes in colour, some-times not, depicting a landscape is superimposed on a somewhat larger, black-and-white photographic publicity portrait of a film actor or actress of modest repute from the 1950s or 1960s, occluding almost all of his or her face. The precise position of the postcard is, in each individual case, evidently dictated by a partial formal congruity, generally a correspondence of line or lines, between the otherwise incongruous content of the two photographs. The continuity of the sweep of a hairline, the curl of a lip, the squint of an eye, or the curve of a jaw with the lineaments of a cascading waterfall, a natural rock formation, or a hill-top treeline, invites the viewer's gaze t.
