He settled in Paris in 1905 and from then on has taken a vigorous part in every adventure in the seething artistic life of his time. Few, if any, have done more to direct artistic endeavour along such radically novel lines. This book, with its 138 illustrations ( 4 of them in full color) and its absorbing text captures the effervescent personality of Pablo Picasso, and illustrates his impact on the art of this century. Mr. Buchheim, himself a painter, has exhibited Picasso's works at his gallery in Frankfurt, and has made a close study of this most remarkable artist.

With excitement and wonder, the reader watches the unfolding of a unified view of the spiritual roots of mankind. The Masks of God is filled with the excitement and awe of the human mind turning back to examine the sources of its beliefs and aspirations. Our view along the corridor of the past extends further with each advance in archaeology and in anthropology. As the outward aspects of man's prehistory become visible the common origins of his inner life are progressively revealed, and from the joint efforts of many sciences a new science, descriptive of the spiritual roots of mankind, becomes possible. Here for the first time the scope and substance of that science are described. With a sweep as wide as Toynbee's, Mr. Campbell has assembled and arranged the latest insights into the oldest truths, illustrating them from the first treasure house of the human mind, mythology. What Frazer in The Golden Bough saw as the unmasking of religion, now viewed in wider perspective, turns out to be the story of the spirit's valiant upward struggle from the dark and often bloody abyss of primitivism. Beginning with the human mind, the author discusses the enigma of the inherited image, the mysterious process which (in another field) makes the newborn chick scurry for cover at the shadow of a hawk but not of any other bird. This process suggests an explanation of the deep chord struck in the heart of man by the primary images. There follows a description of the dual origins of our myths among the primitive planters and the primitive hunters and their accompanying practices of ritual murder and identification ~ the kings that die to ensure the crop and the hunters who become prey. A final selection deals with the archaeology of myth and the significance of the new science. The Masks of God is at once a treasury of myth and a study in the spiritual unity of mankind.
