Revolution

Revolution By Sara A unique picture-book for adults with content that is discernibly political, Revolution is a powerful allegory in red, black and white by French artist Sara. Her simple yet forceful collage art evokes revolt, repression and war, but also immutable freedom in the face of tyranny. Charged with emotion, this is a world in which visuals take the place of words. Sara’s torn-paper technique creates a new language that makes for an impassioned but minimalist narrative, drawing the reader into and beyond the struggle for liberty. This English edition also includes an afterword on historical people’s revolutions and struggles from around the world. Revolution is unique combination of art and politics for all ages that communicates through visual language a timely and ardent story of the perpetual struggle for freedom, shedding perspective on past uprisings through to current events. Artists, activists, politicos, idealists and geronimos will find a spot in their hearts and on their bookshelves for this compelling book. * Winner of “The Golden Apple” at the 20th Biennial of Illustrations at Bratislava in 2005.
