We have an exciting array of articles and interviews lined up for the rest of the year. In the summer we will tackle the daunting subject of Alice: her admirers and her illustrators. We then turn our attention to Ladybird books and the people who turned these little volumes into a defining part of British 20th-century childhood.
We will speak to Emma Chichester Clark and Christopher Wormell about their books, experiences and careers so far. Further afield we will learn about the beautiful and innovative books being hand-produced in India by Tara Publishing, which recently won the Ragazzi award at the Bologna Book Fair for its stunning The Night Life of Trees. The publisher will explain how it is drawing on traditional tribal art and employing artists more used to murals, textiles and other forms of folk art.
We will then turn our attention to war when we hear from an artist who has spent the past few years drawing Canadian and US soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Then we look back at the many famous artists who contributed to the war effort by creating propaganda images in the first world war.
Later in the year, we will learn about the cartoons of Saul Steinberg as well as the illustrations of Arthur Rackham and Tove Jansson. All this, plus work by new graduates, the best books, events and exhibitions and the work of fine presses in the UK and overseas. |
