Sean Worrall - Painting On found Books 3 - Moliere, Five Plays...
The third in what looks like it will be an occasional series of paintings on the front cover of found books.
"Painting on Found Books 3 - Moliere, Five Plays" - Acrylic paint, ink on the front of a found book. This one in a 1958 Penguins Classics edition (in English) a collection of Five Plays. The book is beautifully aged and yellowing, once more it was found, this time on a shelf of books out on the street. I did leave it there for about a month to see if anyone wanted it, they didn't so I took it to paint on. You can still read the book of course. According to the name written inside, this copy once belonged to L J crane. Where is it going to go next?

The book is painted on the front cover, a combination of acrylic paint, ink pen work and gloss varnish. The book is signed and dated by the artist on the back cover and of course you can still read it. A small paragraph on a blank page by way of explanation
