Hardback. Zustand: New. 1st. Maria Lai always had a special relationship with fairy tales. She considered them a metaphor for art and a way of communicating with the public in a simple, straightforward way. Starting in the 1980s, fairy tales became central to her art. Tenendo per mano il sole, Tenendo per mano l'ombra, Curiosape and Maria Pietra, are her most famous "sewn fairy tales" - books created by the artist using castoff textiles.Maria Lai's fairy tales are not merely children's stories, but profound reflections on life and what it means to be a human being. They are often inspired by Sardinian myths and legends, to which the artist gives a personal twist, adding autobiographical details and philosophical reflections. This edition of Tenendo per mano l'ombra is a printed version of Maria Lai's 1987 tale. The original consists of fabric pages sewn together and collages of dyed textiles, on which the artist has embroidered geometric figures, yarn and other materials. The fairy tale tells the story of a human being (and his double) who must learn to accept shadows, the dark part of the world and of himself. The figure's shadow, in Maria Lai's fairy tale, is not a negative element to be rejected, but an integral part of his personality. To live an untroubled and complete life, one must learn to accept and live with it.Elena Pontiggia's concluding essay accompanies the reader in a fascinating page by page interpretation of the fable, and discusses Lai's artistic and stylistic approach in the context of an extensive network of philosophical, literary and artistic references: from Kant and Manzoni to Klee and Malevic.Text in English and Italian. …

Text in English and Italian. AUTHORS: Maria Lai (Ulassai 1919 Cardedu 2013) went to high school in Cagliari, where the writer Salvatore Cambosu was her literature teacher, passing on to her his love of poetry. Moving to Rome, she attended the Art Institute in Via di Ripetta as a pupil of Renato Marino Mazzacurati; she then studied at the Venice Academy of Fine Arts under Arturo Martini. In 1945, she returned to Sardinia and began teaching. She dropped paint as a medium in favour of poor materials such as textiles, creating sewn canvases and books, bread and terracotta sculptures and the first woven works that were to become the leitmotif of her research. In 1967, she created Oggetto-paesaggio, a dismantled loom that was both an ancient object and a contemporary installation. In 1981, she created Legarsi alla montagna in Ulassai, the first relational work in Italy: the inhabitants of the village tied their houses together with a blue ribbon and then bound them to the mountain above as a symbol of harmony between man, nature and art. Maria Lai returned to live in Sardinia in the 1990s and continued to produce theatrical events and to experiment with various art forms: looms, sheets, books, geographies and sewn fairy tales. On Maria Lai, 5 Continents Editions has published the following volumes: Maria Lai: Holding the Sun by the Hand (2019), Maria Lai: Legarsi alla montagna (2021), Maria Lai: I luoghi dell'arte a portata di mano (2021); Maria Lai: Mending Pain, Weaving Hope (2022). Elena Pontiggia is an art historian focusing on Italian and international art between the wars. She teaches at the Brera Academy and the Milan Polytechnic. SELLING POINTS: . Maria Lai saw fairy tales as a way to connect with the public and a metaphor for art itself . Lai's fairy tales go beyond children's stories, offering deep reflections on life and humanity . Holding the Shadow by the Hand explores accepting one's shadow, not as a negative aspect, but as a necessary part of oneself 20 colour illustrations Maria Lai wove fairy tales into art, using textiles and metaphors to explore life's complexities. Her "sewn fairy tales," like Holding the Shadow by the Hand, reflect on accepting shadows, both literal and personal.

Rilegato. Zustand: new. Testo Italiano e Inglese. Milano, 2024; ril., pp. 56, ill. col., cm 24x33,5. (Arte Contemporanea). La sapienza della fiaba. Maria Lai ha sempre avuto un rapporto speciale con le fiabe. Le considerava una metafora dell'arte e un modo per comunicare con il pubblico in modo semplice e immediato. A partire dagli anni Ottanta, la fiaba diventa un elemento centrale della sua ricerca artistica. Libri creati dall'artista con tessuti riusati. Le fiabe di Maria Lai non sono soltanto storie per bambini, bensì profonde riflessioni sulla vita e sull'essere umano. Spesso si ispirano a miti e leggende sarde, che l'artista reinterpreta in chiave personale, aggiungendo elementi autobiografici e riflessioni filosofiche. Questa edizione di "Tenendo per mano l'ombra" è una riproduzione in stampa su carta della fiaba di Maria Lai del 1987. L'originale e composto da pagine di stoffa cucite insieme e collage di tessuti tinti, su cui l'artista ha ricamato figure geometriche, fili e altri materiali. La fiaba racconta la storia di un essere umano (e del suo doppio) che deve imparare ad accettare l'ombra, ovvero la parte oscura del mondo e di sé stesso. L'ombra, nella fiaba di Maria Lai, non è un elemento negativo da rifiutare, ma una parte integrante della personalità. Per vivere una vita serena e completa, e necessario imparare ad accettarla e a conviverci. Il saggio conclusivo di Elena Pontiggia accompagna il lettore in un'affascinante interpretazione della fiaba pagina per pagina, e mette in dialogo le scelte artistiche e stilistiche di Lai con una fitta rete di rimandi filosofici, letterari e artistici: da Kant a Manzoni, da Klee a Malevic.
