Abstract
A tip over the web put me on to this book. Aractingi did the menus for Air France that I have had for some ten years. This is a beautiful landscape-formatted paperback book. This volume covers the first three books of La Fontaine, with a full-page illustration for each of the sixty fables. My favorites so far include TMCM (27), which shows only the mice and some food. Their eyes are very alert: have they just heard the approach of an intruder? Aractingi's approach to salt-and-pepper hair for 2W on 43 is genial. OR on 53 is a strong presentation. Again, he offers an impressive display of the puppies' teeth in La lice et sa compagne on 67. Le lion et l'âne chassant (91) is typical Aractingi and deserves to be put on the cover. La femme noyée (127) is spectacular! A note on the painter on the last page says Séduit par l'univers des fables de La Fontaine, il a imaginé de toutes les illustrer (133).
