Considered
by many to be the greatest Surrealist and |
| Dadaist
book ever written, Alice in Wonderland has always |
| had
a special place in Barooshian's soul. Since the 1950s, |
|
Barooshian has been creating his own compelling visual |
| interpretations
of Alice in oils and graphics. The paintings |
|
culminated in a series of very large scale allegorical works |
|
in an elegant biomorphic style. At the request of the Lewis |
|
Carroll Society, Barooshian produced a portfolio of nine |
|
intaglio etchings, each interpreting a chapter or two from
Alice. "The results are far more |
|
more than illustrative, as Barooshian has stylishly translated
Carrolls's masterpiece of |
|
fantasy into his own personal visual language," writes William
Carl. |
