197129015848New York: The Museum of Modern Art 1971. Warja Honegger-Lavater was born in Winterthur Switzerland in 1913 to Emil Lavater and Mary Lavater-Sloman. She studied at Zurich School of Applied Arts and after graduation she became a succesful graphic designer. She married Gottfried Honegger in 1940 and had two daughters Bettina and Cornelia. She moved to New York in 1958. She died on May 3 2007. Little Red Riding Hood is an accordion style folding book that tells the classic tale using abstract symbols rather than written language. At the beginning of the book there is a legend of symbols- colored dots or geometric shapes- used to tell the story. For example Little Red Riding Hood herself is a red dot the wolf is a black dot the house is a brown square and grandmother is a blue dot. By using these pictorial symbols the artist Warja Honegeer-Lavater reinterprets the tale into a brightly colored abstract book that allows the tale not to be constrained by the text. The original book done by the artist and published in France in 1965 by Ateliers Arte Paris. MOMA recreated the artist's book in 1971. This book is considered to be one of the first known 'modern artist books' was a part of a fairy series done by Honegeer-Lavater that included such works as: Little Tom Thumb Snow White Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. Maroon boards slip case and covers. Paper cover labels on slip case and covers. Measures 6 3/4" x 4 1/2". <br/><br/> The Museum of Modern Art hardcover books

Molto buono Very Good. Prima edizione First Edition. <em><strong>Warja Honegger-Lavater </strong>è"; stata un'illustratrice svizzera famosa per aver creato libri d'artista che rileggevano favole e classici della narrativa attraverso l'uso della grafica simbolica invece di figure realistiche.</em><br /><em>Dopo gli studi a Zurigo Stoccolma Basilea e Parigi aprì il suo primo studio di grafica a Zurigo nel 1937 con Gottfried Honegger suo futuro marito. Fu qui che Warja Honegger-Lavater ebbe il primo incontro con i simboli che l'avrebbero accompagnata poi per tutto il corso della sua vita artistica. Dal 1944 al 1958 lavorò moltissimo per il giornale per ragazzi <strong>Jeunesse </strong>realizzando copertine illustrazioni e diventandone successivamente l'editore responsabile. Si trasferì a New York nel 1958 dove cominciò a illustrare riviste scientifiche per l'editore Visuals. Fu proprio nel primo periodo americano che Warja Honegger-Lavater incontrò il caleidoscopico mondo della pubblicità: cominciò quindi a disegnare pittogrammi creando una nuova forma di linguaggio nei suoi lavori. Nel 1962 terminò il suo primo libro Guglielmo Tell che fu pubblicato dal MOMA di New York.<br /></em><em>Dal 1963 l'editore francese Adrien Maeght pubblicò" una serie di libri chiamati <strong>"Imageries"</strong> Immaginazioni. I libri raccontavano le favole classiche dedicate ai bambini secondo un nuovo linguaggio fatto di forme semplici e colorate: dai Fratelli Grimm a Charles Perrault e Hans Christian Andersen. I libri erano realizzati in un'unica lunga pagina rilegata a soffietto con una legenda all'inizio della storia che spiegava come leggere i personaggi.</em> Basilius Presse, unknown
