We have an exciting array of articles and interviews lined up for the rest of the year. In the autumn we will tackle the daunting subject of Alice: her admirers and her illustrators. We then focus our attention on Ladybird books and the people who turned these little volumes into a defining part of British 20th-century childhood.
We’ll explore the illustrators who have embarked on the epic mission of attempting to depict Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s Rime of the Ancient Mariner and we’ll enter the mystic worlds of those who ventured to illustrate the equally rich and imaginative realms of Edward FitzGerald’s version of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.
Later in the year, we will learn about the cartoons of Saul Steinberg as well as the illustrations of Arthur Rackham and Tove Jansson’s enduringly popular Moomins. Animator Marc Craste will explain the complexities behind his well-known Lloyds TSB adverts and new film Varmints, while Israeli artist Avi Katz will discuss the fine art tradition that lies behind his cartoons. We’ll be talking to children’s illustrators including Emma Chichester Clark and Michael Foreman and we’ll be looking at the work created by wood-engraver Derrick Harris. |
