SKY GODS: The Sun and Moon in Art and Myth by Katherine Komaroff

SKY GODS: The Sun and Moon in Art and Myth

By

Pub Date: Nov. 15th, 1974
Publisher: Universe Books

A lavish, oversized potpourri of sculpture, paintings, prints, masks and objects -- not all of them directly related to sun or moon motifs -- from various primitive, ancient and exotic (Far Eastern) cultures. The accompanying text consists of a few myth retellings and paragraph-long captions to the photos -- occasionally indulging in such touristy half-truths as ""The Japanese believe that devils and ghosts exist in neon-lighted Tokyo as well as in the wooded countryside."" Strictly for browsing.
