Boiste
The Stuff of Fairy Tales
France
This rounded abode with its coquettish roof seems to be breathing with life from Mother Earth. Some will see in this stable a giant mushroom home of fairies and dwarfs. The charming little characters are like jewels spilling from a treasure trough. Agnes Boiste’s ceramic figures are Santons in their own right. They don’t make a sociological or cultural statement, but they are the stuff of children’s dreams and fairy tales. There is a part of Christmas which can only be captured in fairy tales and dreams.
