Also puzzling is the fact that these are my slides; when I worked on the Gallery Crew and then later as a Graduate Assistant in the Art Galleries I did all the photography for, and of, all the shows but all those slides would have stayed behind in the Art Gallery archives when I finally left Long Beach State for good in maybe 1973.
This Mexican Mask show was one of the major shows at the Cal State Long Beach Art Galleries the year it happened, as I recall, but after that I can't remember much about it. I do seem to recall that the masks were all from a private, local Southern California collection.
