Résumé:
In graphic designer Basss sole picture book, first published in 1962, his stylized collage prints pair with Kleins understated text to tell the story of a boy who dreams about traveling from his small town of Reboul to visit Paris. In Reboul, Henri lives in a little white house made up of two angular geometrical shapes, surrounded by a lush tapestry-like forest, and has three friends, Andre, Jacques, and Michel (they appear as three pairs of legs, fitted with pink pants, decoratively pattered socks, and green boots). Finally, Henri sets out walking to Paris, but when a bird interferes with his sense of direction, he gets turned around, discovering that Paris is an awful lot like Reboul. Bass plays with repetition (theres a strong symmetry to Henris journey), text, and strong blocks of color, while using negative and positive space to toy with perception.
