IMAGE ON THE EDGE

What do they all mean the lascivious ape, autophagic dragons, pot-bellied heads, harp-playing asses, arse-kissing priests and some rsaulting jongleurs to be found protruding from the edges of medieval buildings and in the margins of illuminated manuscripts? Now a vailable in a new hardback edition, Michael Camilles Image on the Edge explores that riotous realm of marginal art, so often explai ned away as mere decoration or zany doodles, where resistance to social constraints flourished.
