Description
Kenneth Gross's Puppet is a thought-provoking exploration of the fascination with puppets, those enigmatic objects that can evoke both delight and fear. Through a meditative journey, Gross examines the diverse world of puppets, from the anarchic Punch and Judy show to the sacred shadow theater of Bali, and the experimental theaters of Europe and the United States. He delves into the realm of literature, tracing the puppet's presence in the works of authors such as Collodi, Kafka, Dickens, and Philip Roth, as well as in the art of Joseph Cornell and Paul Klee.
