Alice in Wonderland. Through the Looking Glass

Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-glass, complementary stories closely linked written in 1865 and in 1872 , lead the reader into a dreamland characterized by nonsense, immoderation and by the passage from childhood to adulthood. The masterpiece by Lewis carroll has been entirely reproduced and is presented in a bilingual English/French version, underlining by this way the extreme vivacity of the two novels, fraught with puns. Pat Andrea has caried out for this edition 49 paintings at the size of 150 x 180cm that mix gouaches, watercolours, colour pencils, charcoal, collages, gold and silver leaves. The 210 details reproduced in this work plunge us with strength, humour and intelligence into Lewis Carroll's universe. The artist, coming from Holland, has taught since 1998 at the National School of Fine Arts of Paris and exhibits in the whole world. In his preface, Marc Lambron, writer and literary chronicler, brings a new enlightening on the mythical figure of Alice and on the confrontation between Lewis Carroll and Pat Andrea, by remarking the numerous correspondances between the two universes, the literary universe and the pictorial one.
