Miroslav Šašek


Ponořte se do světa kouzelných ilustrací Miroslava Šaška, českého spisovatele a ilustrátora, který procestoval celý svět. Mnozí z nás znají jeho tvorbu zejména v podobě řady turistických průvodců pro děti nazvaných To je… S lehkostí sobě vlastní a s velkou úctou k zobrazovaným místům v nich dětem i dospělým představil mnoho světových metropolí a dalších míst – Paříž, Londýn, New York, Hongkong, ale také například Austrálii, americkou kosmickou základnu Cape Canaveral a mnoho dalších. Získaly si světovou proslulost a motivy z jejich ilustrací se objevují i na pohlednicích, plakátech a užitkových předmětech. Šašek však nezůstával jenom u knih pro děti. Kromě průvodců po městech a zemích vydal další autorské knížky, řadu titulů ilustroval, pro rádio Svobodná Evropa, kde pracoval v padesátých letech 20. století jako hlasatel, herec a ilustrátor, později pravidelně psal a namlouval fejetony a postřehy ze svých cest po světě. Seznamte se spolu s námi s jeho bohatou tvorbou, ale i s Miroslavem Šaškem jako člověkem, mezinárodně uznávaným umělcem a světoběžníkem. Jeho domovem byla celá planeta. To byl… Miroslav Šašek.

Plat Pen


Once dismissed as a cozy world of teddy bears and fairies, the arrival on the scene of numerous highly original, contemporary, and "cool" graphic artists in recent years has transformed perceptions of children's book illustration. Children now grow up with a more informed and sophisticated visual diet—with cartoons, animated movies, comics, TV, and computer games—consuming a vast range of stylistic approaches, and illustrated books have moved to match the demands of a more discerning market. Equally, artists who in the past may not have considered the children's picturebook as an appropriate vehicle for artistic expression are increasingly drawn to the area.This book showcases some of the most interesting work emerging within the genre from a range of cultural backgrounds. It examines trends in use of media—both digital and traditional—and discusses the variety of approaches to subject matter.

The Illustrated Dust Jacket 1920-1970


The middle decades of the twentieth century saw an extraordinary flourishing of the illustrated, pictorial dust jacket. From the 1920s, as the potential for the book’s protective wrapping to be used for promotion and enticement became clear, artists and illustrators on both sides of the Atlantic applied their talents to this particular art form. Rising to the wide-ranging challenges posed by format and subject matter, leading artists and illustrators, including John Piper, Edward Bawden and John Minton in the UK and Ben Shahn, Edward Gorey and George Salter in the USA, brought their unique personal vision to bear on the world of books. Many of their designs reflect the changing visual styles and motifs of the period, including Bloomsbury, Art Deco, Modernism, postwar neo-romanticism and the Kitchen Sink School. Martin Salisbury has selected over fifty of the artists and illustrators who were active in the period 1920–1970 in the UK and USA, as well as others such as Tove Jansson and Celestino Piatti, and discusses their life and work. A selection of dust jackets – both known and too long forgotten – for each artist reveals how far the book as an artefact had travelled from the days of the plain wrapper in the nineteenth century.

Drawing for Illustration


An instructive book that examines the practice of drawing for illustration through case studies and sketchbooks, written by one of the world's foremost experts and teachers on the subject. This essential handbook explores the subject of drawing for illustration in-depth, with an emphasis on drawing as a skill and fundamental language that every illustrator should master. It aims to encourage students through examples and case studies, by showcasing the often-unseen world of draughtsmanship that underpins the finished graphic. From book illustration to graphic novels, caricatures to commercial design, it draws on contemporary sketchbooks, projects and historical examples to make the connection between the practice of drawing from observation and drawing from imagination. Martin Salisbury sets out by explaining the fundamentals of this exciting discipline, before outlining the basic principles of line, tone, composition and colour through inspiring examples. Different approaches to drawing including anecdotal, sequential and reportage are examined, to enable students to acquire their own personal visual language. Interviews with illustrators also provide invaluable insight into the creative process, as they outline their challenges and motivations, and what drawing personally means for them. Packed with visual inspiration, this book features detailed analysis of works by key illustrators from past and present including George Cruikshank, Egon Schiele, Ronald Searle and Sheila Robinson through to Laura Carlin, Alexis Deacon and Isabelle Arsenault, looking at the differing roles drawing plays in their particular illustrative languages and how styles have changed over time.
