The magisterial two-volume set of books, with a foreword by Joko Widodo, the President of Indonesia, is the definitive work on an ancient Balinese artform that has captivated the outside world since the early 20th century. Richly illustrated with over one thousand images, it represents the culmination of more than four years of dedicated work by a team of experts, including photographer Doddy Obenk and designer Ni Luh Ketut Sukarniasih, who have scoured archives and collections around the world. The main texts consist of an essay by I Made Bandem, a renowned Balinese dancer and scholar, on the still living dancing traditions. This is supplemented by a detailed history, written by Bruce W. Carpenter, tracing back the origins of this remarkable performance art to the pre-Hindu era. Other texts delve into sacred, never-before-photographed masks, as well as biographies of famous mask makers and dancers. The gallery, a separate volume, spans 360 pages and is an illustrated compendium of Balinese masks from the 16th to 20th century, sourced from renowned museum, institutional, private, and temple collections. Extensive captions and supplementary information accompany each image, making this book accessible to scholars, those specialized in Balinese studies, as well as a general audience interested in international performing arts, sculpture, Asian art, and history.
