Description

2012 le vieil homme & les fables. France télévisions – amopix. Conception graphique Mathieu Rolin. Droits graphiques Jean Bastian Éditions Majb. €20 at Majb Antiques, Strasbourg, July, '19.

Here are some 21 brief and very creative presentations of La Fontaine's fables. The disc which they make up is a favorite of mine! The premise is that Jean Bastian, who did indeed produce a book of La Fontaine's fables, is drawing at his desk. As he works on the coloring of each fable's illustration, the fable takes life in his atelier. There are great touches of imagination here, as when MM finishes with a cracked pot and puddle in the middle of Jean's rug, or when a small statue falls at the end of 2P as is smashed in the floor, or when finally FG ends with grapes growing around Jean's atelier! Those wanting a first sample of these short videos might do well to watch WL. I am so happy that I noticed the book in this antique store's window. I returned later when they were open and had a chat with the grandson (?) of Jean Bastian, former owner of the store. I bought Jean's book – which I cannot find right now! – and the DVD.
