Abstract

en_US
I had not been aware that this favorite artist of mine had done a Florian book. It is breathtakingly lovely! Twenty-six fables, listed in a T of C at the back of this oversize book of 64 pages, richly illustrated. I find here The Blind and the Lame (14); does it originate with Dodsley in 1761, perhaps one generation before Florian? Among the best of the illustrations are those spilling across the two-page spread for Le Troupeau de Colas (18-19). Another is Le Danseur de Corde et le Balancier (29). The frequently low but broad illustrations--perhaps an inch and a half high but all the way across the page--work very nicely to show the developments in L'Inondation (34). Some of Hellé's best work is out in nature. There are good examples of these open-air studies on 39 and 59. A very nice book!
