About this Item
large 4to (10 1/4 x 13 inches). blue cloth-covered boards, cover design of painted on the front cover, cloth clamshell box, title on paper spine label. thirteen hinged pages, unpaginated, but each is a full-page spread, with one page colophon at rear. Unique foldout Artist Book by Barry McCallion. Fine in fine clamshell box. From the colophon: "Au Moulin Rouge is made on cream wove Richard de Bas paper. The pages are hinged, unfolding Leporello style into a frieze of a dozen picture panels. I lifted images from several Toulouse Lautrec posters (Troupe de Mlle. Eglantine, La Goulue, Jane Avril), reduced his figures to outlines, and filled the now abstracted forms with acrylic colors. In order to convey the excitement of the cancan and the heady energy of performance, I rotated figures and overlapped lines and forms. I also scattered a "confetti" of small cutout pieces over the pages, hoping to render the cancan's assertive sound. Joelle Webber of Mermaid Bindery bound the book and made the presentation box. I added the blue, white, and red of the French flag to the box, and created a silhouette of dancers for the cover recess. -Barry McCallion | July 2019" From the artist's website: "Barry McCallion was born in the Bronx, New York and received degrees from Columbia University (English Literature) and Claremont Graduate University (Sculpture). His natural inclination to travel has been officially sponsored by the DAAD artist in residence program to Berlin, the Cite des Arts Atelier in Paris and most recently, by the Visual Arts Board of the New Zealand and Australian Arts Councils. The artist currently lives and works on the east end of Long Island, New York." blue cloth-covered boards, cover design of painted on the front cover, cloth clamshell box, title on paper spine label.
