PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This was a fabulous find for us - a large collection of original, pristine, perfectly preserved 1960s posters by the artist formerly known as Lucia Pearce (now Lucia Capacchione). There are only a few hundred of these in the world and we think all these posters are absolutely stunning.
The wording on this lovely poster says:
'Human consciousness comes into the world as a flaming ball of imagination. Everything invented by man, physical or mental, is the fruit of someone's imagination... The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown to grow under the flaming heat of imagination.'
The words are by Maria Montessori, a famous philsopher of education and this would make a brilliant gift for anyone involved in looking after kids, or even for a classroom or staffroom wall. Or is just a really lovely picture to have in a family home.
Lucia Pearce was a crucial figure in the birth of the 'New Age' movement in California and is now a world-renowned art therapist and writer. She trained as a Montessori teacher and these posters were designed by her to uplift and inspire both adults and children, drawing on the words of writers such as Kahlil Gibran and Rilke. They are really eye-catching and the colours are so vibrant, with beautifully simple designs and wonderful words.
The posters are available signed or unsigned so that you can really acquire a piece of true vintage art history.
