At museums, the show is not only in the paintings, but also in the museum rooms. Thieves steal postcards, children wolf down chips and academicians observe the sales staff. Turn the pages randomly and suddenly the academicians will be wolfing down postcards while the thieves observe packets of chips.
This book, in French, takes up the idea of the Surrealists' exquisite corpse game in order to have fun with words and works of art.
On the right-hand page there is a famous portrait, on the left, a nursery rhyme. The pages are divided up into four strips that you can lift and change around. You can mix up the rhymes, making funny ones, and new strange faces will appear.
There are seven men and seven women, either important or average people, but all famous thanks to the painters who immortalized them. From these fourteen real portraits, you can combine elements and come up with no less than 38,402 different portraits.
At the end of the book, you will find the paintings in their integrity, accompanied by a short biography of each painter.
This is a fun and educational book that enables children to discover the most beautiful portraits in the world by deconstructing and reconstructing them.
