• Flavia Ruotolo A bowl or a mushroom? A megaphone or a volcano? From one page to the next, Flavia Ruotolo turns a usual day into an extraordinary visual journey. On the left page, an element representing a moment of the day appears, while on the right the same element presented differently turns into another story full of fantasy. Once shapes are arranged in another way, new images and meanings will occur! A kind of workshop for the imagination, this is an exciting graphic invitation in blue and orange, to look at things from a different perspective, reminding us of the most famous words by Surrealist Paul Éluard: «The Earth is Blue like an Orange.» > From 6 on • Hardback • 2 spot colors • 15 x 20 cm • 40 pages

Gaia Stella was born in Milan, Italy, and has always lived here. As a child, she went to a German school that was quite particular—it was a place where artistic work (painting, sculpture, theatre, music, carpentry) was encouraged, where long (and fantastic) field trips even at a very young age were taken, as well as experiences that went above and beyond usual learning were part of the everyday ordinary. She has published books with Italian publishers and La Joie de Lire.

L’Art à table / Art is ready!
Past & Present
• Flavia Ruotolo
• Orith Kolodny
From delicious play on words (‘Francis Bacon and eggs’) to more subtly seasoned cartoons (‘Andy Warhol realizing that tomato soup is not that good’), Benjamin Chaud takes us on a gourmet journey through Art. On the menu, 32 pastiche portraits of huge artists (and their relationship with food!): Magritte, Toulouse Lautrec, Lichtenstein, Dali, Munch, Niki de Saint Phalle, Velázquez... Their major works are reinterpreted or diverted, always infused with Chaud’s savoury sense of humor and exquisite impishness. Benjamin Chaud’s cuisine is definitely one of the greatest.
A light-hearted yet philosophical visual book about our ways of life – in the past and in the present.

Quiet, Peace Doves! • Gilles Bachelet and Clothilde Delacroix At first sight, peace doves are very close to humans: they go to work every day, have a lunch break and relax at home at night. But it’s not that simple: they have a special job, working hard at making peace. Using nonsense and inversion, Gilles Bachelet and Clothilde Delacroix question peace and its evil twin, war, with their thoughtprovoking drawings. A small delight of subtle humor, shifting with remarkable ease from comedy to sophisticated irony, touching on the quirky and off-beat along the way. Gilles Bachelet – clothilde delacroix
Readers of all ages will delight in this whimsical and fun book. > For all ages • Paperback • 14 x 15 cm • 64 pages • French retail: 9,90€

From the audio tape to the Ipod, from the love letter to a text message or a simple < 3, from 60’s glamorous style to the boyish casual chic of today, Orith Kolodny takes us on an illustrated exploration of time through visual dichotomies and likenesses. Each face-to-face invites to nostalgia and self-reflection about our hectic time, with chart-like accuracy and a hint of dry irony.
