I SAW A PEACOCK WITH A FIERY TAIL

A die-cut masterpiece, two years in the making, I Saw a Peacock with a Fiery Tail (public library), one of thebest art books of 2012, is based on a 17th-century British “trick” poem and illustrated in the signature Indian folk art style of the Gond tribe by Indian artist Ramsingh Urveti. It comes from Indian independent publisher Tara Books , who for the nearly two decades have been giving voice to marginalized art and literature through a community of artists, writers, and designers collaborating on remarkable handmade books.

历时两年完成的经典之作，《火尾的孔雀》堪称2012年最佳艺术书籍之一，它以17世纪英国"伪诗"为基础，配以印度艺术家Ramsingh Urveti签名的、具有印度冈德民间艺术风格的插画。此书由印度独立出版商Tara Books发型，在过去的二十多年间该出版商通过团结起一批艺术家、作者和设计师合作制作手工书来扶植边缘艺术和文学。
