{"product_id":"making-faces-playing-god-thomas-morawetz-9780292752474","title":"Making Faces, Playing God: Identity and the Art of Transformational Makeup","description":"\u003cp\u003e Wearing a mask--putting on another face--embodies a fundamental human fantasy of inhabiting other bodies and experiencing other lives. In this extensively illustrated book, Thomas Morawetz explores how the creation of transformational makeup for theatre, movies, and television fulfills this fantasy of self-transformation and satisfies the human desire to become \"the other.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Morawetz begins by discussing the cultural role of fantasies of transformation and what these fantasies reveal about questions of personal identity. He next turns to professional makeup artists and describes their background, training, careers, and especially the techniques they use to create their art. Then, with numerous before-during-and-after photos of transformational makeups from popular and little-known shows and movies, ads, and artist's demos and portfolios, he reveals the art and imagination that go into six kinds of mask-making--representing demons, depicting aliens, inventing disguises, transforming actors into different (older, heavier, disfigured) versions of themselves, and creating historical or mythological characters. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Morawetz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0292752474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292752474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.94h x 7.04w x 0.76d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2002 pg. 1055\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2002 pg. 67 - Strongly Recommended","brand":"Thomas Morawetz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913562489087,"sku":"9780292752474","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f06bee26-efd3-4520-a9f7-56da283ce1b8.jpg?v=1680621070","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/making-faces-playing-god-thomas-morawetz-9780292752474","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
