In “On Flatness and the Faerie Realm: Andrea Dezsö at Newcomb Art Museum,” I investigate the Transylvanian artist’s interpretation of the Brothers Grimm and other tales in her exhibition at Tulane University. This essay considers fairy-stories and folktales, tunnel books, the medium of cut paper, Max Lüthi and depthlessness, Kara Walker, 16th-century English masques, Mardi Gras float designs, “The Frog King,” the nature of metaphor, landscapes, and the spaces in-between.
