Video: So different Alice: illustrations of 15 artists, famous and not so, for the book "Alice in Wonderland"
2024 Author: Richard Flannagan | [email protected]. Last modified: 2024-01-10 02:10
"Alice in Wonderland" is rightfully considered one of the most important books of modern literature. From the tale of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, told by Alice Placens Liddell, a good half of the literature of the 20th century originates. And of course, many artists and almost every children's illustrator paid attention to "Alice". In our review, only a small, often huge, visual story.
1. John Tenniel
Today, Tenniel's 42 illustrations, which were included in the first edition of the book in 1865, are considered classics.
2. Peter Newell
3. Salvador Dali
Few people know that Salvador Dali also tried to illustrate Alice. His surreal images, it seems, would ideally have to be suitable for conveying Carroll's surreal ideas. At the very least, they should appeal to those who think this book is a little crazy. 13 illustrations by Dali were published in 1969.
4. Disney
It is almost impossible to find the once popular comics based on "Alice in Wonderland", but they look very different than the animated film, shot by the studio in 1951.
5. Emma McKean
In this 1943 edition of the book, there were many sliding panels that concealed illustrations.
6. Irene Corey
The legendary theater designer created these sketches for the Dallas Theater Center. The production was a mime show.
7. Barry Moser
Moser's illustrations won the National Book Award for Design and Illustration in 1983. His woodcuts are imperfect due to the fact that the artist did not use specially prepared wood. As a result, now there are tiny cracks in the "White Rabbit", "Red Queen" and other prints.
8. Robert Sabuda
Sabuda became famous for creating three-dimensional illustrations. Despite the fact that his images are very similar to Tenniel's, they unfold when opening the pages into three-dimensional ones.
9. Arthur Rackham
A well-known illustrator of children's books published his vision of Wonderland in 1907 (it was in that year that the copyright on the illustrations expired).
10. Peter Newell
Newell, whose pencil drawings were published in 1901, was a political cartoonist. And this could not but affect his illustrations.

Artists with special features who could not paint, but managed to create and became famous
