DESCRIPTION:

A book of Peking opera painted faces of interest to lovers of traditional Chinese opera and a useful reference for students of fine arts. It is also a good introduction to those general readers who have often wondered what Peking opera is all about.

The Peking opera face is characterised by symbolism and exaggeration by the use of signs and symbols and exaggerated and distorted features to represent a person's character or attributes. Very often, for example, eyes, brows and cheeks are depicted like bats, butterflies or swallow's wings which, together with an exaggerated mouth and nose produce a desired facial expression.

All the pictures in this book are full, frontal views of 272 selected painted face patterns depicting both traditional make-up and new patterns created for newly written operas. And, to place the opera faces in context, included are a number of pictures showing Peking opera actors in costume and with facial make-up.
