The Art of Eric Carle | Eric Carle

Pickpick

I feel like the introduction beautifully summarized many of the reasons his children's book art has struck me as an adult.
Bio by Eric Carle, especially about his time in Germany covering WW2, the many sides of Germany, the heartbreak of war experienced by civilians and soldiers, no matter where they live.
The magic of a young artistically inclined person being encouraged by those around them. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality The tragedy of strict school/corporal punishment, the understandable escape found in nature, especially sweetened with early memories shared with his father, of better times.
From two editors, sections that convey their love for his books, going into why they are so successful, and how much they enjoyed working with him.
The Japanese museum curator talking about colour, art influences and the sweet little dog anecdote, might be my favourite. 2/? 2y
Robotswithpersonality I feel like the reproduced speech holds a lot of elements in common with the bio presented earlier in the book.
Absolutely fascinated at the peeks into the creative and technical process of art for picture books, even seeing the process to turn white tissue paper into layered colour that can be then cut out to shape images, I'm still in awe of the talent for shaping, the intuitive sense (of play?) combined with art knowledge that provides such richly varied colourations within each tissue paper sheet, that then adds such depth to the resultant collage illustratons. 3/? 2y
Robotswithpersonality Appreciate the bibliography at the end showing each book cover in full colour, it matches the spirit of the book. 4/4 2y

To think, all this colour and life was lurking in ads before it found its way to children's books.

When the art just grabs you...the colours, the pose, the facial expression, how big the candle is in proportion to the person. Feels Warm.

The Lost Spells | Robert Macfarlane

Having a very early morning read been at it since 5.30 just wanted to share some more amazing art work in my current book The Lost Spells by Robert Macfarlane.
Reading this book real slow, devouring every poem.
