Mr. M: the exploring dreamer by Soizick Meister, words by K. George
I grabbed this off the new book cart at work yesterday. It looks like a children's picture book, but is so much more. Meister has painted the figure of Mr. M for years. In this book she inserts Mr. M into both thoughtful and amusing situations in British Columbia landscape. Mr. M is both the common man and the other. The works here relate to our self-knowledge and how we place ourselves in the world. I love how the works relate to each other and the humour and wordplay depicted here.
A neat, surprising, little book.
I love Mr. M. I'll have to check this out. thanks Shonna
ReplyDeleteNever heard of it before, but it does sound like an interesting premise.
ReplyDeleteThe art is great and inspiring.
