In 1900 he was awarded a silver medal for his bindings at the Universal exhibition and according to Flety he was devoted to improving the craft of binding rightup to his death. An almost untouched breathtaking copy of this splendid book. Umberto Brunelleschi was a brilliant Italian painter book illustrator and fashion designer probably best known nowadays for his erotica. Here though he applies his bold flair with color and his puissant imagination to fairy tales and resulting is something truly extraordinary! This material would seem his true calling for here his sensual proclivities are expressed with none of the lurid excess that one might find in some of his other work. And the images are sheer delight which enchant and arrest the eye. The costuming and elegance of the figures depicted are evocative of dance and the images surely benefit from Brunelleschi's fashion career. And there is still the languid androgyny that spills forth the erotic sensibility. This and the immersion in atmospherics make the pictures also squarely belong to the high Art Nouveau fancy an association reinforced by the foliate borders which curiously have a formal lineality not necessarily affiliated with that fin-de-siecle aesthetic movement. What is most conspicuously Art Nouveau it should be recognized is the panache of the whole book production represented here. This is truly a book that in and of itself is artwork. hardcover
