Grands et Petits Elisabeth Ivanovsky Stone lithograph from her book for Desclee de Brouwer, undated but from the early 1930s. She is somewhat of a national treasure in Belgium and France but relatively unknown here. I hear a whisper that Thames & Hudson may be publishing an English edition of a book about her work, which would be well received by at least one fan here. #elisabethivanovsky #swans #cygnets #grandsetpetits @thamesandhudson https://www.instagram.com/p/BsaBqtqA-JA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qit0gbmackih

Grands et Petits Elizabeth Ivanovsky Stone lithographed illustration from a 1930s French Children's book. The theme of animal families is, and continues to be a popular one. Some of my favourites are the Russian books, unsentimental and impressionistic. Ivanovsky'a pochoir-like lithographs using a reduced palette are so stunning. #ivanovsky #pochoir #stonelithography #grandsetpetits #pigs #piglets
