Discover Le Petit Chaperon Rouge (the Little Red Riding Hood) art book by Warja Lavater, original edition by Adrien Maeght, 42 pages in lithography that unfolds accordion-style over several meters. This unique format replaces Charles Perrault’s text with a visual language of simple symbols (translated into French, English, German, and Japanese) to tell the story of the journey through the woods and the encounter with the wolf. Ideal for ages 5 and up to develop language and observation skills, new copy sold without a plexiglass case, ISBN 9782869410039. Visual Style: The story is told without traditional narrative text, using a language of geometric symbols (for example, a small red circle for Little Red Riding Hood and a large black circle for the wolf).
Warja Lavater (1913-2007) was a Swiss artist and graphic designer, a pioneer of the artist’s book, famous for reinventing traditional tales as visual narratives coded with geometric shapes. Her first published work, released in 1965, this unique imagery transforms the famous tale into an unforgettable visual and sensory experience for young and old alike.
