Fitcher's Bird

Cindy Sherman 
(from the tale transcribed by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm) 
New York 
15 October 1992












Given her Disasters and Fairy Tales series, it should come as no great surprise that Cindy Sherman should have taken up the task of illustrating a favorite of Grimm’s Household Tales, especially one that is so strongly related to the various Bluebeard tales.  Rizzoli published this book in a deluxe edition with fifteen color photographs, ten of which are not at all perfectly presented above and another below.
