Abstract
-
en_US
A large format book with strong watercolors for each of 44 fables. The artist seems to sign many illustrations Molenes 94. Each fable (except four) gets a two-page spread. The four exceptions are Les animaux malades de la peste (60), Le chat, la belette et le petit lapin (76, with a particularly strong depiction of Raminograbis), Le chat et le rat (92), and Les deux pigeons (96). The visual artist in picturing Le cochet, le chat et le souriceau (56) surprisingly interprets le cochet as a stagecoach instead of a chicken! Was this creativity planned? Some good images include the pedant (L'enfant et le maître d'école, 20); FK's first, insulted king (30); the sniffing bear in TB (54); the savetier clutching his money (80); and the monologuing rat about to learn something about size from the cat whom the elephant has been carrying (88). The artist takes an unsual perspective in Le laboureur et ses enfants (50) and also includes a daughter besides. Sometimes the two pages are well integrated with each other, as when they present summer and winter in GA (6). It is surprising that so many selections select the same basic set of La Fontaine fables.
