The application is an art book, a conceptual book, and an educational book all in one, so it has something for everyone. The art enthusiast will appreciate the nods toward Flemish and Dutch Renaissance art in Paletz collages. Children and their parents will love the interactive features, combined animations, and sound effects that bring Carroll’s tale to life. Not to mention they will find themselves on a journey of history and art.

Lewis Carroll’s wonderful story works on many levels, from children’s tale to a deeply political treatise,” said Paletz. “I created this app to share the joys and delights of this classic story in ways that many readers have never before considered, bringing the story to life for children and adults alike.”

Paletz’s collages are pulled together from pieces by Jan van Eyck, Joachim Patinir, Leonardo da Vinci, Hans Holbein, Sandro Botticelli, Pieter Brueghel the Elder, Hieronymus Bosch, Quentin Matsys and more. Images like Quentin Matsys’ satirical portrait “The Ugly Duchess” were a touchstone for The Alice App. With so many influences, users will find something new every time they go Paletz’s visual journey. His illustrations also reflect the nature of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Paletz has included in his artwork riddles, puzzles, illogical delightfulness, and brainteasers for users to discover and make sense of. His conceptual work has brought Alice to life.

With such careful attention to detail, Emmanuel Paletz’s The Alice App will reveal to users the many political, historical, philosophical and social layers in Lewis Carroll’s classic tale. Available in the iTunes App store for $4.99, users will get an intimate look into Paletz’s love for both classic children’s literature and classic art.
