To make a portrait of a bird

This beautiful fable about art and creativity brings together one of Jacques Prévert's most beautiful poems, written in 1943, and the talent of Mordicai Gerstein, who wraps it in color. It stands out for the originality with which it shows the transition from the three-dimensional world to the two-dimensional plane. It also reflects the measure of time, the value of patience and the delicacy with which he captures nature. Basically, it is a philosophical reflection on the ephemeral: we capture moments and impressions of what we observe and yearn for, but we can barely retain it for a long time. We must get rid, then, of that eagerness to capture what does not belong to us, so that our gaze is open to new sensations. Author: Prevert, Jacques | Illustrator: Gerstein, Mordicai
