Product Details
- Fairy tales that 'make you want to hold them in your hands'Grimm Tales, which have never gotten old despite being told for more than two centuries, inspired countless adaptations and reincarnated in different artistic forms; This time, it turns into 'fairy tale sculptures' in the hands of versatile Australian artist Shaun Tan.Singing Bones, featuring specially selected parts of seventy-five tales from the Brothers Grimm's oeuvre, from The Frog King to Finger Child, are presented accompanied by Shaun Tan's original sculptures designed from pulp and clay, which can easily fit in the palm of his hand.This hard-cover private collection book, crowned with Neil Gaiman's foreword on Shaun Tan and his art and Jack Zipes' introduction about the Brothers Grimm; It puts readers of all ages through a dizzying imaginary threshold created by fairy tales.Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, Twelve Brothers, White Snake and many more... Never before have Grimm Tales, with their evil stepmothers, lonely princesses, greedy kings, cunning foxes and cruel witches, been interpreted and presented in such an impressive and different way. Shaun Tan, who transformed his magical ideas into a three-dimensional form for the first time, brings a unique interpretation to fairy tales that are tired of being told many times in this work, which resembles a dazzling exhibition. Tan, who tries to explain the beauty, horror, uncanny and polysemy that form the core of the fairy tale universe created by the Brothers Grimm, this time through the sculptures he masterfully carved, literally rewrites the tales, without using a single word, so to speak. In your reader, don't hold them in your hand; It makes you want to caress it with your fingers and touch its cracks, curves and corners...These sculptures, which feel like they date back to ancient times, even before these tales were first told, reflect the Grimm Tales with a perfect mixture of darkness and light that no one would dare to do. Like fairy tales, statues are illuminated one by one with the help of our imagination, without losing their unique secrets.''These pictures make me want to put the stories in my mouth, knowing that I will eventually spit them back out with words, even if unintentionally.''
