The Colourful Toy Village
by Horst Michel (Author)
Description
One cannot say the post-war years were easy. Nevertheless, professor Horst Michel and his working group from the State University for Architecture and Visual Arts in Weimar, today’s Bauhaus University, worked on a life-affirming picture book for young children. Despite staying in half-destroyed work spaces, they managed to create a colourful book with many cheerful characters that resemble simple wooden toys. They tell the story of a hard-working but idyllic village community that was supposed to give people hope for a better future.
