The Art of Children, Richard Ott, with Folio of 16 Loose Color Plates 1970 folk aet or a plant

or a plant

It shows a few small surface chips along the right edge of the "front" and some more on the "back" but who cares

along with several other beautiful Burmese boxes

I've looked at this 100 times or more and keep returning to it

I find hair mementos in all of their various forms such rich things

The Art of Children, Richard Ott, with Folio of 16 Loose Color Plates 1970 folk aet or a plantI spotted this oversized book folio at an antique show last weekend and was sold on the cover alone I could look at that dark gray whiskered creature against soft yellow ground all day long. Happily, there is a color plate of it, along with fifteen more loose color plates, inside. And a matching size 8 page booklet, with more examples of extraordinary works by children. Produced by Muller & Kiepenheuer Verlag for Pantheon Books and published in 1952,
