Résumé :
Photographer Jessica Gudnason presents an insider's view of the elaborate and stylized pageantry of Chinese opera. Taken backstage, the 90 color and b&w portraits provide a dramatic, close-up view of the moods, faces, and costumes of contemporary players and children preparing for a role, or fully dressed for a performance. The preface reveals Gudnason's passion for this art form and her reverence for the performers. In the introduction, actress Gong Li discusses the history of Chinese opera, the main character types, and the significance of the costumes and makeup. Oversize: 10.50x13.25<>. Annotation c.
