- Abstract
- en_US This is a wonderfully serious and substantial book. It features three artistically distinct segments, each with the work of a particular artist. The first third (14-67) deals with cartoonlike panels representing -- as do the other two thirds -- traditional Aesopic fables. A fine example is FG on 12-13. The second third (68-121) uses exaggerated broad strokes and geometric shapes to cover a full page or more with a single illustration to dramatize a fable. A good example shows the tortoise climbing over the sleeping hare on 70-71. The third section (122-178) has a softer, pastel palette. The large illustrations here invite perhaps more reflection. A good example is the wolf on 179 holding his nose while a frisky horse runs off on the facing page. I have waited almost five years to catalogue this book. It is worth waiting for! About 8½" x 11½".
