Into The Monastery by Valentin Magaro
Valentin Magaro’s new book covers his oeuvre of the last fifteen years. It shows his fantastic figures, fictional worlds, repetitive patterns and references to art history, which he assembles into modern world theatres. The book comprises 168 pages with 400 drawings and paintings, as well as texts by Lucia Angela Cavegn, Nicole Seeberger, Shirana Shahbazi, Thomi Wolfensberger, and Valentin Magaro.
The entire publication was set in NN Konrad by Martina Meier. The layout refers to letterpress Bible pages—this reference is again clarified by the choice of typeface and its historical context.
