The Musée des Arts Décoratifs presents an exhibition dedicated to the series Les Drôles de Petites Bêtes created by Antoon Krings, a major artist-illustrator of children’s literature.
The exhibition will be organized around five central themes: flora and fauna, the garden, the Arts & Crafts Movement, animals in literature and the audio-visual adaptation of the world of Les Drôles de Petites Bêtes.
This retrospective – the first ever dedicated to Antoon Krings – will immerse visitors into a world of childhood wonder.
For this exhibition, the gallery lends a work by the Naive artit André Bauchant, Les Clématites, 1943, the edition Il était une petite pie, 1928 by Lise Hirtz illustrated by Joan Miró and La hutte de Kô & Kô, 1933 by Maria Helena Vieira da Silva.
