Christmas Greetings (From a Fairy to a Child)
Moscow: Emil Goozairow, 2021. Emil Goozairow is a Russian artist who paints and draws, produces movies, and creates exceptional miniature handmade books that are printed on rare types of paper and published in limited editions. His techniques create unique designs that often are made with natural materials alone or in combination with relief decorations made from metal or poymeric clay. He creates books that he describes as "pop up," “kinetic carousel," “liporello” or “3D origami.” He also writes fairy tales, stories and mystical scenes. This delightful handmade miniature pop-up book opens into a star shaped structure with the text of Carroll's well known Christmas poem from 1867 printed on red boards juxtaposed with colorful illustrations that pop up as the pages are turned. The front cover of the book has a three dimensional structure with the author and title on the front cover and red felt on the back. A charming Christmas memento from this inventive book artist. In fine condition. Measures about 2 x 3 inches. Unpaginated. ARTB/111221. More
