Picnic on the Print
註釋From the Paris-gilded imagination of artist-poet Barbara Johnson Chase comes this bon vivant collector's frisson: PICNIC ON THE PRINT. In amuse-bouche analogous to J. R. R. Tolkien's self-illustrated rendering of The Hobbit, each double-page tableaux elicits a double take; each double entendre flambé a second thought. From à la carte delicacies like Vine Dweller's "see her swinging gently on a hammock full of peas" (à la Beatrix Potter's art-and-verse) to word-grilled Compliment's "chic-to-cheek" scarf (à la Lewis Carroll's interplays), between the obvious and the understated. A palette of optical word plays for frontal cortexes pining for the piquant. Chef-d'oeuvre for eyes; plat du jour for brain cells.
