Books On Books Collection - Clarissa Sligh (II)
The entry on Transforming Hate by Clarissa Sligh, her first work acquired for the Books On Books Collection, was posted in September 2020, just over a month from an election that offered a step away from hate, prejudice, and bigotry. Unfortunately insurrection brushed the offer aside. Four years later, another election, and reactionism and revanchism seem to have the upper hand. In such times,…

Books On Books Collection - Kitty Crowther
Va faire un tour (1995) From the first wordless illustration onwards in Kitty Crowther’s Va faire un tour, you don’t have to know French to know that the book’s title means imperatively “take a walk” — or maybe even “take a hike” — in English. There is no mistaking the tone of Maman’s character nor the reaction of her little one stomping along, circling the globe, even under bodies of water,…

Bookmarking Book Art - Linda Toigo
The picture above comes from Linda Toigo‘s interactive edition of Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The interactive elements consist of opening envelopes, ripping pages, constructing illustrations from jigsaw pieces, turning and returning pages facing reflective surfaces, but just as engaging — perhaps more so — is the unified way in which layout, texture, page…

Books On Books Collection - Eleonora Cumer (II)
“Playing is a serious thing!”* These are Bruno Munari’s words that I share. I play and I have fun with my papers and my colours, but it is a job and a job, even if enjoyable, is a serious thing.
My notes on image diaries are serious. A collection of thoughts translated into images, that are daily, just like a diary, “annotated” on nearly three hundred pages. I use the stencil technique with a…

Bookmarking Book Art - Exhibit at the Grosvenor Rare Book Room
“There is art to be found in science books and science to be found in artist’s books.” The Buffalo & Erie County Public Library has been kind enough to share the exhibit labels for its display held in March this year in the Grosvenor Rare Book Room. The section devoted to “Artist’s Book History” begins with the Book of Kells and runs to Ed Ruscha’s Twentysix Gasoline Stations. Although many will…
