Description

10 cuts in their original envelope, China, s.d. [ circa 1956 ] As explained on the slipcase, "painted faces here refrs to the traditional faces make-ups in classical Chinese operas. Such make-ups not only enhance the artistic beauty of the operas ; what is more important is that they symbolize the character of the roles [ . ] The paper-cuts of Weihsien, with their clear-cut lines and bright and fresh colours, show up the characteristics of the painted faces to the best advantage."
