There is a true fascination with all things miniature and with the skills involved in creating a miniature masterpiece. Miniatures have an intrinsic aesthetic quality: they are objects of allure, or of awe. But small things also possess a capacity to act upon the world and evoke responses which far exceed their physical dimensions. They might be imbued with talismanic, religious or magical properties. This thought-provoking book celebrates the art of the miniature object, and looks beyond it at the many aspects of 'small worlds'. It explores the concentrated messages that can be conveyed in the miniature form and how this is exploited in different cultural contexts for a variety of purposes. From Gulliver to King Kong, classical art to surrealism, Aristotle to the Yoruba - in this intriguing book can be found the exquisite and the esoteric; the wondrous and the weird.
