The notion that “a book should never be judged by its cover” is still relevant as an analogy, but is simply no longer true about modern books. While books used to be the primary means of conveying information relating to culture and art, some books have become culturally significant art-forms in their own right.
A case in point is any one of the aesthetically unique books produced by international publisher Assouline.
The Book as Art
For centuries definitive art has been made accessible to readers via the printed page. This does not refer only to paintings, but also to fashion, photography, architecture, design, and any number of other cultural aspects. Books are thus as big a part of culture as the themes which they explore.
Well aware of this fact, Assouline have created a series of books so beautifully crafted that they themselves must be considered art. These are superb additions to coffee tables and personal libraries around South Africa, and are a form of aesthetics that become complimentary additions to their environments.
