Red Nose is a picture book illustrated by Sergio Olivotti, it\’ s joyful hymn who celebrates the joy and the power of imagination. The use of black, white and red makes this picture book a valuable design object. \’The red nose is the smallest mask in the world.\’– Jacques Lecoq. An illustrated book dedicated to the imaginative power of the clown that is inside each of us; the same clown child who makes spontaneity and colour the true antidote against degradation and homologation. The strenght of this book is the surreal mood of the illustrations, able to surprise the readers, the sonority and the rhytm of the text.
