visually interpreted by Natalie d'Arbeloff

In about thirty startling black and white drawings with collage, Natalie d'Arbeloff creates the sense of a powerful current sweeping through the book, the words sometimes floating up, magnified, sometimes completely submerged but still present beneath the surface. Rather than being an illustrated Revelation, d'Arbeloff's version is a bold attempt to capture the experience of seeing these devastating visions as the Prophet himself might have experienced them.

While remaining faithful to the text, the artist takes some liberties with it, repeating certain words or re-arranging them on the page within the images. Neither word nor image is more important than the other. Rather, both swirl together across the pages, creating an astonishingly powerful visual experience.

Natalie d'Arbeloff s NdA Press was started in 1974 to produce own illustrated artist's books/livres d'artiste and one-of-a-kind bookworks. 48 titles have been produced to date and copies are in major public collections the world over. Solo exhibitions include the National Art Library and the Museum of the Book, The Hague.
