(H/B) SIX FAIRY TALES FROM THE BROTHERS GRIMM

Παρουσίαση

The fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm according to David Hockney RA are like no other version you will have read before. Although inspired by earlier illustrators of the tales, from Arthur Rackham to Edmund Dulac, Hockney's extraordinary etchings re-imagine these strange and supernatural stories for a modern audience, capturing their distinctive atmosphere in a style that is recognisably the artist's own. Reprinted here for the first time since its original publication in 1969, Hockney's book brings together some well-known tales - Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin - with others that are less familiar. 64 pages, 39 illustrations. Hardbound with tipped in illustration on cover. (From the publisher)
