Fragile Beasts Colouring Book: 40 Grotesque Designs from Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum

by Caitlin Condell (Editor), Caitlin Condell (Editor)

Synopsis

The word grotesque was first coined at the end of the fifteenth century in Italy to describe a style of painting found in Ancient Roman ruins in which foliage intertwines and merges with human and animal forms. This title features scaled works, often measuring just a few inches, that are at times erotically charged and at others moralizing.
