Le Petit Chaperon Rouge

Warja Lavater was a Swiss artist and illustrator specializing in the artists book genre. She did amazing work, always working with the principle of telling stories using abstract symbols. Her five "Imagineries" are considered her masterpieces. They are rooted in traditional fairy tales and were published between 1965 and 1982. Lavater explored the rethinking of a text through images and vice versa. Her goal was not to render a tale as it was written, but to use it as a base for illustrations that give room for each readers imagination and storytelling.Lavater was inspired by street signs and other visual codes and clues, which is quite obvious when you see the "instructions" to this book.
