{"product_id":"masks-of-the-himalayasmasques-de-dominique-blanc-9788874395194","title":"Masks of the Himalayas\/Masques de L'Himalaya","description":"This is the first book dedicated exclusively to the subject of the Himalayan mask. Mysterious, sacred, and unusual, the masks of the Himalayas only recently arrived in the West. Unlike African or Oceanic masks, whose discovery by early twentieth-century artists altered the conception of art by their influence on Cubism, Himalayan masks only became accessible to collectors following the opening up of Nepal in the 1960s. Spanning all religious influences in the Himalayan region--Hindu and Buddhist, animist and shamanic--and covering the entire area from Ladakh to Indian Kashmir, Nepal, Bhutan, Arunachal Pradesh and Tibet, this is the first book dedicated exclusively to this subject.An unprecedented overview, the book unites more than 200 extraordinary pieces. Published in conjunction with a major exhibition at the Fondation Bernard et Caroline de Watteville in Martigny, Switzerland, \u003ci\u003eMasks of the Himalayas\u003c\/i\u003e highlights pieces of rare quality and sheds new light on this enchanting art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dominique Blanc, Arnaud D'Hauterives, Berenice Geoffroy-Schneiter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8874395191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788874395194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e 5continents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.68h x 8.32w x 0.73d","brand":"Dominique Blanc","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987402883327,"sku":"9788874395194","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_238cd6d2-4876-4a98-a33e-1ec95623ec88.jpg?v=1683288777","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/masks-of-the-himalayasmasques-de-dominique-blanc-9788874395194","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
