{Marcel. Il bambino con la scatola verde. White Ravens 2018}

“Marcel. Il bambino con la scatola verde” riceve, nell’autunno del 2018, un “premium label” assegnato da un gruppo di esperti della Internationale Jugendbibliothek (la più importante biblioteca al mondo del settore infanzia/ragazzi) per il prestigioso catalogo The White Ravens.

La giuria:

“Author-illustrator Daniela Iride Murgia constructs a portrait of Marcel Duchamp’s (1887-1968) childhood with great compositional finesse. Duchamp spends his childhood in a house with a large garden, his attentive gaze examining everything that surrounds him. He possesses a great vivacity of spirit and a constant urge to move. An idea leads him to wondrous inventions that stem from a montage of what he finds on the street. New, unusual life animates everyday objects, inspiring new perspectives. Then there is his passion for chocolate, and his fascination for the machine that produces the chewy, aromatic, decorated, enticing morsels on display in the show window of the candy shop. The passions, intuitions, and ideas that later mark Marcel Duchamp as an unusual artist are here introduced in tandem; from the start, he was captivated by multi-faceted forms of expression and the exploration of various styles and techniques.”
