Beschreibung
Children's books tell more than just stories. They stimulate the imagination, convey feelings and world views and help children to explore the world. They appeal to children and adults alike through their idiosyncratic narratives, but above all through their diverse and unusual illustrations and individual styles. Their creative appeal lies in the variety of illustrative possibilities, which range from detailed watercolors to linocuts and woodcuts to minimalist drawings, and can also evolve into animations or digital applications. The publication presents works from the end of the 19th century to the present day. On display are international books and illustrations for children that surprise and fascinate with their creative and sophisticated design. Text: Martin Salisbury, Morag Styles.
