Museum in a Book: An Ideal Exhibition, Explore, Play, Create

At once an endlessly playful tabletop exhibition and a hands-on guide to enable one and all to create their very own art, this book is a physical kaleidoscope of the imagination. Using only his favorite tools—four bold colors, a brush, sheets of paper, and a pair of scissors—and applying a few straightforward principles and directions from his revolutionary art-making project, The Ideal Exhibition, Hervé provides simple instructions to create art that can be used to fill a huge space . . . or squeezed into a matchbox. But the best expression of Hervé’s prodigious creativity is this book itself: An interactive marvel that readers will arrange and rearrange in a dazzling display of shapes, colors, and patterns.

INTERACTIVE PLAY: Fold, unfold, arrange and rearrange, insert, pull up, and so much more to create a deeply satisfying activity that nurtures the imagination. This compact and compelling book brings Hervé’s art to every home.

A SENSORY EXPERIENCE FOR ALL AGES: Bold neon colors, bright patterns, and tons of tactile elements make this a visual treat for artists of all ages! Once arranged—and rearranged—it will sit comfortably on a bookshelf or stand confidently on display. It encourages readers to look, reflect, play . . . and create!
