POPSAN - Casimir the Dinosaur by the River (川辺の恐竜カジミール) - UNIQUE WORK

THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD — EDITION 1/1

In this square-format work, Popsan seats Casimir, the big orange dinosaur with yellow spots from L'Île aux enfants, on the grass along a riverbank, on a summer Sunday in another century. Settled comfortably with his legs stretched out in front of him, he turns his big round eyes and broad smile toward us. No one around him seems surprised: a man in a top hat lies on his side, a woman sits wearing a flowered hat, a small white-and-brown dog lies in the foreground, and, standing on the right, a lady in a dark dress shelters beneath a midnight-blue parasol. Farther away, a woman beneath an orange parasol, a little girl in a white dress and straw hat, and promenaders in frock coats cross paths in the shade of the trees.
White sailboats glide across the blue water, in front of a wooded bank where a church steeple rises above the trees. Sunlight dapples the grass with yellow and green, while Casimir’s orange bursts forth amid the dark clothing. A childhood friend has slipped in among the promenaders.

A tender, humorous piece, ideal for adding a touch of nostalgia to the home of a collector who grew up with L'Île aux enfants.
