Iela Mari: Il Mondo Attraverso una Lente

Iela Mari: The World Through a Lens, Babalibri, Milano, 2010 (Italian and English language)
Catalogue for the first Italian survey exhibition of Iela Mari's work, held as part of The Bologna Children's Book Fair. An overdue study of her children's books, including sketches, prototypes, and edition variations, beginning with her first book from 1960 (in collaboration with her then husband, Enzo Mari). She currently lives in Milan. "With the simplicity of the act of breathing, her lucid gaze explores small things: nature, animals, blades of grass, silence, the air."

English Diction for the Singer by Lloyd Pfautsch, Lawson-Gould Music Publishers, NY, 1971
"...drawings will show the changes of jaw, tongue, and lip position involved in the preceding sequence of vowel sounds. The overlays should make it possible for these changes to be seen graphically. Keep in mind that these positions are not meant to be absolutes."

At some point, this tag became separated from its carving and ended up in this book. I can't seem to find any information on Joshua Sheeb.

I am in the whole world at home now. I love this feeling.

Since some time, I globalize me.
Why just living in one country,
why just sleeping in one country,
why just being buried only in one country...

Conrad Schnitzler R.I.P.
