Um pequeno conto de fadas da artista Kveta Pacovska

Reviewed in Brazil on May 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

Kveta Pacovska é uma artista que nasceu em 1928 na cidade checa de Praga. Produz livros infantis desde a década de 50. Seus livros são verdadeiras obras de arte experimentais, com recortes, relevos, texturas, volumes... Nas cores há um predomínio de cores contrastantes, principalmente vermelho, preto e branco. E seu estilo é muito característico, sendo perceptível uma continuidade entre seus livros.

Este, "The Little Flower King" é um dos livros da Kveta que foram traduzidos para o português (como "O Reizinho das Flores") mas eu tenho apenas esta versão em inglês.

É um livro pequeno, sobre um pequeno rei das flores que descobre que não estava inteiramente feliz, até que percebe que precisa de uma princesa e segue então para sua busca.

Dos livros da Kveta este é o que tem o menor formato, e o que tem menos recortes (apenas um recorte vazado no centro do livro, durante metade das páginas do livro, aproximadamente) e nenhum dos outros efeitos típicos dos livros da artista, reflexos, volumes, texturas,.. O foco é maior na história, que é um conto de fadas e no desenho, este sim sempre presente, traços, formas e cores inconfundíveis da artista.

Envio fotos de exemplo.

we love Pacovska Kveta's style

As a children's book collector already, this is a very nice addition to our library; very pleased that recently have discovered another Czech artist making wooden dolls that seem to me inspired by Pacovska Kveta's style.
