- Summary
- "Photographer Inge Morath and artist Saul Steinberg engaged in a unique collaboration in the years 1959 to 1963 by having friends and acquaintances don paper bags drawn with fantastic faces and then posing them for photographs. In a delightful series of individual and group portraits, otherwise respectable people have been implicated in their mischief. We don't know who they are, but we seem to know exactly who they are impersonating.
- Morath's direct, at-times deadpan style is the perfect counterpoint to Steinberg's whimsy. Together they have cast a little operetta of attitudes, postures, and mannerisms. And while her subjects preen, Morath has recorded the flights of fancy of a friendship."--BOOK JACKET.
