Ex Libris Maurice Ravel - Unique Bookplate Illustration Print for Art & Book Lovers
£12.00
I made a series of bookplates for some inspirational and interesting people from history and beyond. Each bookplate is inscribed with 'Ex Libris' which is latin for 'the library of' and the name of that particular person alongside imagery that relates to them! I will be adding more designs in time so you can collect a few and pin them up somewhere.
1920s impressionist composer Maurice Ravel was a bit of a weirdo to be honest. An aloof loner, he mainly kept cats for company. There’s no telling how many cats he had but he specifically loved Siamese cats and even composed music inspired by them.⠀
⠀
Ravel was also highly interested in Japanese culture. During the 1920s there was a huge influx of artefacts brought to Paris from Japan and Ravel decorated his home with them and had a Japanese style garden. ⠀
⠀
He worked slowly and abandoned many works but is best known for his work ‘Bolero’, an orchestral piece of a repetitive theme - a popular choice for figure skaters.⠀
⠀
Later in life Ravel suffered a head injury in a taxi accident which many scholars believe exacerbated a cerebral condition that caused absent mindedness, aphasia and obsessing on certain themes - possibly a result of frontotemporal dementia. ⠀
⠀
Even though he was a little strange, I like his style 🤷🏼♀️⠀
Matte indigo digital print on slightly textured heavyweight stock.
This is an unframed print. This will fit in a standard A4 frame, or please contact your local framer for advice!
