Lydia Jacob Story 55 mixed-media collages by Raymond E. Waydelich (limited edition, black box, gold stamp) Alsacian artist Raymond E. Waydelich has a passion for combining found objects with painting to compose his works of art. He has created 55 card-sized masterpieces spiced with his own zesty humour especially for this genre of playful tools. As well as being a work of art in its own right, each one of the LYDIA JACOB STORY cards is a departure point into a surreal world, a new and still unknown place occupied by a memorable collection of humans, animals, plants and (possibly) inanimate objects. Brought together against a backdrop of vivid landscapes, mysterious texts and astonishing maps, the denizens of LYDIA JACOB s world invite us to associate and invent along with their creator - our fantasy can take over where the artist left off. The LYDIA JACOB STORY cards can inspire us both to contemplative enjoyment of delightful artworks as well as to active creativity such as storytelling, theatre, music and dance. BEAUREGARD 55 collages by the artist Joan Beauregard (limited edition, black box, silver stamp) Collages are pictures which include materials other than paint, for it s not the material that is of the essence. The collage s sole function is the composition itself (K.Schwitters). The BEAUREGARD cards are free-spirited arrangements of form and colour that can deeply effect their viewers. We may also go beyond viewing to using these collages as a departure point for personal creative expression. Spontaneous associating can inspire the invention of stories, anecdotes or imaginary travelogues. Other responses to these vivid cards might find expression in painting or dance, music, theatre or pantomime. Like ECCO, the BEAUREGARD cards open a door into the world of abstact art. In a song without words the music alone expresses the meaning. Likewise, abstract art in abstaining from depiction of object, figure, scenario or landscape, appeals directly through colour and form to the viewer s response. BOSCH The Garden of Delights in 65 full-colour cards (limited edition, black box, gold stamp) With his painting The Garden of Delights Hieronymus Bosch (ca. 1450-1516) created a monument out of the fears, hopes and fantasies of Europe in the Middle Ages. A master storyteller in the language of images, Bosch populated his creation with fabulous beasts and creatures of fantasy as well as the people of his time and culture whose imaginations they inhabited. The 65 cards of BOSCH reproduce The Garden of Delights in its entirety. Regarded singly, each card reveals a miniature masterpiece of intricate detail. Laid out card-to-card like pieces in a puzzle (size 91 x 52 cm) the individual images grow again into a unified composition. For more than five centuries Bosch s work has inspired and fascinated artists and art-lovers alike. The BOSCH cards can open a new door into his world and lead us on a walk through one of the most famous paintings in the history of Western art.

TAHITI 55 Picture cards, segments of Paul Gauguin s South Sea Paintings (limited edition, black box, gold stamp) Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) created the vivid works of his later life on the remote islands of Tahiti. He expressed his fascination for the culture in paintings that sought to fulfill his deep longings for beauty and original innocence. He painted scenes of daily life, the countryside and people, mostly women. Images rich in poetry and an apparent harmony that seemed indigenous to paradise pervade the works. These 55 cards, selected images out of his most beautiful paintings, are an invitation to journey in fantasy to the South Seas. We can create our own stories based on Gauguin s motifs. The TAHITI cards, like tantalising pieces of a greater mosaic, captivate the viewer s eye for detail and invite us to extend them with our own creative fantasy. 7,5 x 11 cm CLARO 55 Blank Cards for Creating your own Images CLARO has coloured varnished backs and white unvarnished fronts.
