Omschrijving
Oscar Wilde's achingly beautiful fairytales, collected in a lux hardcover with original artwork by Yuko Shimizu and introduction by Michael Cunningham.
“I feel certain that these stories have waited almost 130 years to find their true, visual mates – to find, in Shimizu's illustration, a gift that actually stands up to Wilde's in its unflinching embrace of the fabulous, complex, magical world in which we have always lived.” THE FAIRY TALES OF OSCAR WILDE has won the Communication Arts Design Competition, and won Bronze and Silver Cubes from the Art Director's club in the categories of Design and Illustration.
"These editions hearken the illustrious past of bookmaking, while also adding a tantalizing contemporary take."
"Shimuzu’s illustrations are varied, powerful, and often evoke batik and other resist-dyeing techniques. As impressive as the illustrations are, the design of the book matches them with elegance and inspired use of color and pattern to set each story in its own frame...These limited-edition crowd-funded volumes raise the bar to the highest level of quality and artistry."
"Produced in the spirit of the books that Wilde himself saw through the press, [this volume] certainly constitutes one of the most beautiful, artistically designed editions of any of Wilde’s writings."
