COMEDY MASK Laughing Face Print

Thanks for watching! The mask, as we know, along with the costume, theatrical machinery, and some other attributes of dramatic action, occupied a central place among the stage techniques established in ancient Greek theatre. The initial stage of development of the mask survives little information, especially about the comedy mask. Already Aristotle in IV b.c. pessimistically remarks about comedy: "only when it already had known forms, begin to mention names of its compilers; but who introduced masks, who is prologue, who increased the number of actors, etc., remains unknown" Most sources indicate that masks were made of fabric soaked in plaster and leather. As a consequence, not a single original has survived our time. But we have an idea of what ancient actors looked like. Thanks to the fact that ancient Greeks decorated their houses with clay copies of theatrical masks and depicted them in various other works of art, including wall paintings, mosaics, statuettes of actors, vase paintings, and elements of architectural ornamentation. I suggest you feel the atmosphere of ancient Greece, decorating your home with a theatrical mask. Or maybe a dressing room? The painting is on stretched canvas 40x50cm, varnished, and ready to hang. I used metallic paints for the mask. The work is signed on the front and also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
