Extended information

Illustration is commonly known as illustration in China. Today's commercial illustrations popular in foreign markets include publications with pictures, cartoon mascots, film and television posters, game character setting and art scene design built into the game, advertisements, cartoons, picture books, greeting cards, calendars, decorative paintings, packaging and other forms. Virtual objects and related visual applications that extend to the current network and mobile phone platforms.

1. illustration, collectively referred to as "illustration" in western languages, comes from Latin "illustraio", which means to illuminate, that is to say, illustration can make words and ideas clearer.

second, the dictionary explanation, illustration is: (1) illustration, illustration (2) illustration, example (3) illustrate that the definition of "illustration" in Ci Hai is: "refers to pictures inserted in books and periodicals. Some are printed in the middle of the text, and some are inserted into the page to supplement the content of the text or to appreciate the art. " This explanation is mainly aimed at the definition of book illustration, which is a narrow definition.

With the advent of the information age and the development of modern society, the meaning of modern illustration has changed from a narrow concept (limited to paintings and pictures) to a broad concept. "Illustration" is the pictures inserted between words in newspapers, magazines, various publications or children's picture books that we usually read, all of which are called "illustrations".

Illustration, in Latin, originally means "lighting up". It was originally used to increase the interest given by the words in the publication, so that the words can be more vivid and vivid in the readers' hearts. In today's various publications, the importance of illustration has far exceeded the foil position of "illuminating words". It can not only highlight the theme, but also enhance the appeal of art.

Illustration is an art form. As an important visual communication form of modern design, it occupies a specific position in modern design with its intuitive image, true sense of life and beautiful appeal. It has been widely used in many fields of modern design, involving cultural activities, social undertakings, commercial activities, film and television culture and so on.

The development of illustration art has a long history. From the world's oldest illustration cave mural to the Japanese folk print Ukiyo-e painting in the Edo era, all of them demonstrate the development of illustration.

illustration first developed with the changes of newspapers and books in the early 19th century. Its real golden age began in the United States in the 195s and 196s. At that time, the illustrations just separated from art works were obviously painted, and most of the authors engaged in illustrations were professional painters. Later, influenced by the abstract expressionist school, they changed from concrete to abstract. It was not until the 197s that illustrations returned to the realistic style.

The historical evolution of Chinese ancient illustrations can be regarded as the development history of printmaking. At the same time, it is also the history of folk New Year pictures. It's just that folk New Year pictures became a commodity independently earlier, which is the predecessor of commercial illustration.

The history of illustration in Europe is similar to that in China, and it was first used in religious books. Later, illustrations were widely used in natural science books, grammar books and collections of classic writers.

With the development of society today, illustrations are widely used in various fields of society. With the increasing commercialization of art and the emergence of new painting materials and tools, illustration art has entered the era of commercialization. Illustration plays a great role in promoting economic development in the era of commodity economy. The concept of illustration has gone far beyond the scope of traditional regulations.

In today's illustration world, painters are no longer limited to a certain style. They often break the previous way of using only one material and use various means extensively, which makes the development of illustration art gain a broader space and unlimited possibilities.

In China, although illustration developed late, it can be traced back to its source and has a long history. With the development of blackboard newspaper, printmaking and poster formats after liberation and the reference to international popular styles after 198s, with the popularization of computer technology in the middle and late 199s, more cutting-edge authors who used computers for illustration design emerged.

Illustration-What do you think of the International Andersen Prize World Illustration Exhibition without a treasure book?

On October 4th, the old mother of literature and art, thinking that the National Day travel peak had been perfectly staggered, proposed to go to the Maritime World Culture and Art Center to watch the International Andersen Prize Illustration Exhibition.

however, no one responded.

The elder sister looked at her younger brother: "The picture book illustration exhibition is so boring for primary school students. Let's go and see it!"

the younger brother looked at his mother with a puzzled face: "hmm, hmm ~ what exhibition?"

My mother was ready to dig out the poster "Ugly Duckling" in the illustration exhibition:

My brother and sister were immediately moved: "Ugly Duckling, I want to go, I want to go!"

So, my mother took her brother and sister to the illustration exhibition with pleasure.

actually, mom came prepared this time. Ever since I heard about this exhibition from my friends, my mother has done a lot of homework in advance, not only knowing the exhibition strategy of local art education institution entertainer Mima by heart, but also finishing the Picture Book Collection compiled by Denise, a famous American early childhood educator.

I fantasized that my mother was talking about the classic works of various illustrators in front of the two children Kan Kan in the exhibition hall, and my old mother couldn't help but be satisfied.

walked into the exhibition hall, disillusioned. However, I saw the old mothers who took great pains in literature and art, crowded in front of the painting and anxiously called for the baby: "Come and see, come and see, isn't this your favorite picture book illustration?" But Xiong Haizi turned a deaf ear, clustered in several interactive areas, rolling up and down, pushing and shoving.

my baby, of course, is no exception.

as soon as my mother told my brother and sister not to get separated, my brother rushed into the interactive area. Mother had to leave her sister behind, and after successfully chasing and intercepting her, she led her brother to find The Ugly Duckling.

While my younger brother was staring blankly at the painting, my mother quickly opened the collection: the author Robert Yingpan, a master of realistic illustration in the southern mainland, is good at telling stories in a delicate and realistic style.

Before I finished reading the collection, my younger brother was tired of watching the ugly duckling and started a full-court interactive game with his works.

Interaction with the works of Russian folk art alchemist Tagina Marina:

Interaction with the works of elegant Austrian picture book queen Lisbeth Zweig:

Electronic screen graffiti:

From this point of view, it is very beneficial to often take children to see the exhibition. My younger brother, who used to run around everywhere, has now progressed to the stage of natural integration of posing and scenes.

When my brother was exhausted from interaction, my sister who was watching the exhibition alone found us: "Mom, let's go, I have finished reading all the works."

is this the end? No, my mother smiled awkwardly and kindly. It's time to start the collection: "How, which masters do my sister like best, take us to see?"

My sister nodded and led us to Mr. Rabbit and the Beautiful Gift. This is the work of maurice sendak, a famous children's literature picture book writer and illustrator, with beautiful and delicate painting style. He has won the Cadillac Award, the highest honor in American picture books, for five times, and is also the first American to win the International Andersen Illustrator Award.

Sandak, who was sickly in his childhood, reflected all kinds of complex emotions such as anxiety, fear and frustration in his picture book creation, which was a subversive revolution at that time. The Beast Country, Rhapsody in the Kitchen Night, and Far Away, the three representative works of Sondak's own eyes received mixed praise at first.

The Beast Country was once banned in the library, but it was later adapted into an animation and musical, which became a highly respected classic and was hailed as "a strange and unprecedented picture book". Some psychological researchers interpret Max's image in The Beast Country by combining the archetypes of Jung's personality theory, such as ego, shadow, personality mask and Anima.

Seeing the image of the beast in the illustration on the spot is quite scary, just like a nightmare when I was a child, while Max, the hero, is carefree:

Knowing the terrible childhood that maurice sendak once had, it seems that we can further understand the meaning of the work: a child gradually learns to overcome his fear in exploration.

"What really shapes us is the child that few of us have the courage to face-the impatient and demanding child long before the enlightenment reaches your heart, the child who wants love and rights, is never enough, and is always angry and crying." Maurice sendak's words may be the original intention of his creation of a series of classic works.

My sister's favorite second master is anthony browne, a surreal child psychological spokesperson.

anthony browne, classified as a British surrealist painter, won both the International Andersen Illustrator Award and the British Kate Greenway Award for his achievement in picture books. His works are neat in composition, bright in color, and good at creating drama by contrast, with surreal elements.

Willie, the coolest orangutan, is the most popular character in anthony browne's works. "Willie" has all kinds of expressions that children are familiar with, such as anger, sadness and joy, just like the spokesperson of children's emotional psychology. Another poster of this illustration exhibition is taken from his famous picture book Gorilla and Little Star in 28.

anthony browne said, "For me, designing a picture book is like making a movie. The structure of the book is a combination of close-up and vision. And my job is a combination of talent (adventure) and thinking, and it is difficult to separate the two. "

Seeing that the two children were fascinated, the mother continued to talk: "Every illustration is a work of art. An illustrator can't make a successful work only by painting skills. He also needs to deeply understand the children's spiritual world.

Moreover, a classic illustration will transcend national boundaries and times.

Next, let's take a look at Mom's favorite master! "

My mother's first favorite master was Scandinavian naturalist Svan Ott.

Swan Ott's paintings have a fresh breath, and the layers created by transparent watercolors are subtle and rich, just like the cold air in the Nordic countries. Just like facing the fog or warm sun in the forest, it reveals clean light, and the realistic scene also exudes ethereal artistry.

Svan Otto draws illustrations for Andersen's classic fairy tales, such as Thumbelina and Ugly Duckling. He is especially good at capturing melancholy, sadness or humorous scenes in fairy tales and describing them with fresh brushes.

My mother's second favorite master is the elegant Austrian picture book queen Lisbeth Zweig.

In p>199, Lisbeth Zweig won the "International Andersen Award" at the age of 36. The sentimental feelings of beauty, fantasy, grotesque and pleasure are mixed with action, dance, nature and fantasy, all of which add up to make Zweig's art. There is a dreamy quality in her paintings, which is magical, but subtle and elegant.

When my mother was a child, domestic picture books had not yet started, and most of my peers had not been exposed to the concept of picture books, and basically jumped directly from picture books to text books. The most impressive childhood memories are the illustrations in Andersen's fairy tales and Grimm's fairy tales. Those beautiful princesses, dreamy scenery and touching stories give us great courage to pursue the beauty that the real world can't see.

under the banner of sharing our favorite illustrator, we turned the illustration exhibition hall carefully again. Finally, the children reluctantly left the exhibition hall with infinite expectations for the works of master picture books.
