Let’s Play with Masks

by Taro Gomi

Cut it out… colour it in… and there — it’s ready! An ogre mask, an animal mask, a human mask…

Children happily play at making and wearing masks. As they put them on and change faces, the game becomes more and more absorbing. Before long, it is hard to tell what is a mask and what is a real face. Is it still just pretend? You may feel a slight shiver.

A bold and mischievous classic from the 1980s, brimming with Taro Gomi’s distinctive graphic style and playful ambiguity.
