Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [PU: (Adrien Maeght Editeur), (Paris)], WOMAN AUTHOR,FAIRY TALES,20TH CENTURY,EUROPEAN,ARTIST'S BOOK, Beautiful first edition of Lavater's symbolic Little Red Riding Hood, the first of six Charles Perrault fairy tales the Swiss artist interpreted in this format. Originally a designer of corporate logos and trademarks, the Swiss artist Warja Lavater began in the 1950s to translate classic fairy tales into visual language, using minimalist graphic codes and keys. Like her contemporary Bruno Munari, Lavater combined the conventions of the picture book with the ideal of the "book-object" to create a new kind of artist's book. The folding leporello format appealed to her as a medium, she explained, because it could "be transformed into sculpture, standing on the ground, or hung, unfolded, on the wall." Her reputation still largely rests on this stunning and playful series of symbolic fairy tales. 6.25'' x 4.25''. Original brick red cloth boards with paper label. Concertina binding. In original acrylic slipcase. Lithographs printed by Ateliers ARTE Paris. Key to character symbols printed on front endpapers. Minimal edgewear. Minor scuff mark to cloth, faint wear to slipcase.<

Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [PU: Paris: Adrien Maeght Editeur], LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD, FAIRY TALES, ARTISTS' BOOKS, CHARLES PERRAULT, WARJA LAVATER,, First French edition by Adrien Maeght, published before the English and German editions. Approx. 4 ¼ in. x 6 ¼ in. Not paginated. A series of abstract designs or illustrations depicting, without any text, the story of Little Red Riding Hood's journey through the forest to see her grandmother. The only text is that which matches the characters with their symbolic designs, and it is in French. Our heroine is represented by a red dot; the forest by a group of green dots; grandmother's house by a blue dot; and the wolf by a purple dot; et al. The story ends happily, with Riding Hood, her mom, her grandmother, and the hunter all safe and sound. The pages are bound accordion-style in cloth covered boards with title label pasted on the front panel. In a matching slipcase. The book and the case are both fine.<
