NURIE: THE FASCINATION OF COLORING
Takes readers
back to an aspect of their childhood long forgotten in most English-speaking
countries - the pleasure of filling in the lines with precision, the fun of
choosing the colors to use, the decisions about whether a pen, pencil,
marker, or crayon would be better to work with, the day dreaming about the
people outlined in the picture, and lots more. All of this remains vitally
important in Japan - where a museum has been established to understand and
preserve the best examples of picture coloring. |
