Abstract
-
en_US
Here is a curious large-format portpholio containing a few pages of text and fifteen large, dramatic illustrations, some colored and some black-and-white. Though one refers to Aesop (#8, Esope - epigramme on 2), these really do not work with fable material in the stricter sense that I use. Some are mythological, like those dealing with Prometheus (#5), Oedipus (#14), Pandora's box (#15), or the Chimaera (#16). Other are less specific: Kiss of the Moon, Il mio studio in Italia, or Trilogia. A four-page insert does the same text as the original French in Italian. This is modern art. I do not know what period or school it belongs to. It mixes representational elements with evocative symbolic elements. In the colored work, the color compositions are lovely and sometimes bold. I like them. The cover's picture of a face with the crescent moon is very similar to an element in The Kiss of the Moon. There is a T of C at the back.
