Edizioni Almenodue
Sorry for the lack of posts, I was sick last week. (Boo!) I'm still not quite all back yet either. Anyway, Angela Liguori, a book artist from Italy, sent me these beautiful images of books published under her press: Edizioni Almenodue (a partnership between her and Silvana Amato, a graphic designer). Together with Fabian Negrin's illustrations, their books feel like they're channeling the spirit of Bruno Munari. In one book, graphic illustrations are paired with poetry by Elio Pecora translated into English. In another, text by Edward Lear (1817). The books look perfect from the color palette and graphic illustrations to the binding and the overall composition. It's a well-executed collaborative project where you see the contribution of each member into a wonderfully orchestrated piece.
If anyone lives in the Boston or Brookline area, Angela has an upcoming trunk show at POD in April and she also teaches workshops at Paper Source. (I wish I could go!) See her events page for more info.
wow, would love these for the shop!
