Beschreibung
Original book sculpture created from the pedagogical reader TOWARD LIBERAL EDUCATION by Louis Glenn Locke featuring a vignette of a male and female figure dancing or engaged in a more sexual activity. Bruno Pasquier-Desvignes defies classification. THE NEW YORK TIMES calls him "part tinkerer and part storyteller, a cross between Alexander Calder and Jean Tinguely;" filmmaker James Ivory compares him to Picasso, noting his ability to "pick up any old thing lying around, see its possibilities for transformation and then turn it into a new and enchanting thing" (RURAL INTELLIGENCE). Pasquier-Desvignes's book sculptures highlight his ingenuity, creativity, and humor, as he toys with the idea of a codex as a container in this case, the instinctual side of human nature, in contrast to LIBERAL EDUCATION's goals of civility. 9'' x 6''. Original blue cloth binding. Bookblock fused with glue, with rectangular recess cut into center. Two figures made of toothpicks, cork, and noodles mounted to recess, mirror mounted behind. Binding with some edgewear, scuffing to boards. A couple tiny spots of foxing to paper surrounding recess. Shows nicely. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 45498
