Intimate and often unseen, the sketchbook means something different to each illustrator. It might be a beautiful object, a work of art in its own right, where every line is painstakingly considered. It might be a pictorial playground, where mistakes can make art. The boundaries between sketchbooks, notebooks and visual journals are often blurred, lending to the creativity that fills their pages. It is likely that you will recognize many of the illustrators featured, including classic childhood favourites Beatrix Potter, Jean de Brunhoff, Edward Ardizzone and Tove Jansson, and established names such as Beatrice Alemagna, Oliver Jeffers and Shaun Tan. Others are up-and-coming, for example Charlotte Ager and Leah Yang. Martin Salisbury draws on decades of experience as an illustrator and educator to shed light on the lives and work of each artist. He even reveals pages from his own sketchbooks, exposing the rawness of his ideas and the narratives that surround them. As the reader will discover, sketchbooks are often a fascinating and surprising window into the mind of the illustrator.

Nachhaltig prägt Hans Prinzhorns Modell des weltabgekehrten "Geisteskrankenbildners" das Verständnis von Outsider Art. Tatsächlich aber sind in den Arbeiten der Sammlung Prinzhorn sehr wohl kontemporäre Einflüsse zu erkennen. Im Stillstand der Dauerinternierung wird für Anstaltspatienten die Rezeption von Zeitgeschehen zur Überlebensstrategie. Um 1919 gestaltet der psychiatrisierte Rentier Rudolf Heinrichshofen (1858-1945) eine satirische Autobiografie und bindet sie zu einem mächtigen Folianten. Der 'modern' gestaltete Comicroman, gestützt auf Vorlagen aus dem Satireblatt Kladderadatsch, liest sich auch als politisches Manifest. Die oft verschlüsselte, mit Tages- und Weltgeschehen...
A Brain Pickings Best Children's Book of the Year "An embarrassment of riches." —The New York Times An expansive collection of love letters to books, libraries, and reading, from a wonderfully eclectic array of thinkers and creators. In these pages, some of today's most wonderful culture-makers—writers, artists, scientists, entrepreneurs, and philosophers—reflect on the joys of reading, how books broaden and deepen human experience, and the ways in which the written word has formed their own character. On the page facing each letter, an illustration by a celebrated illustrator or graphic artist presents that artist's visual response. Among the diverse contributions are letters from Jan...
'This is what I really want. I want to discover ways to discriminate the important things in human life. I want to find ways of getting past this blind fumbling with existence.' - Marion Milner, from A Life of One’s Own. How often do we really ask ourselves, 'What will make me happy? What do I really want from life?' In A Life of One’s Own Marion Milner, a renowned British psychoanalyst, artist and autobiographer, takes us on an extraordinary and compelling seven-year inward journey to discover what it is that makes her happy. On its first publication, W. H. Auden found the book 'as exciting as a detective story' and, as Milner searches out clues, the reader quickly becomes involved in t...
The national bestselling author of A Natural History of the Senses tackles the realm of creativity, by exploring one of the most essential aspects of our characters: the ability to play. "Deep play" is that more intensified form of play that puts us in a rapturous mood and awakens the most creative, sentient, and joyful aspects of our inner selves. As Diane Ackerman ranges over a panoply of artistic, spiritual, and athletic activities, from spiritual rapture through extreme sports, we gain a greater sense of what it means to be "in the moment" and totally, transcendentally human. Keenly perceived and written with poetic exuberance, Deep Play enlightens us by revealing the manifold ways we can enhance our lives.
Ce colloque est le fruit d'une collaboration entre l'Université de Reims, la Bibliothèque municipale à vocation régionale de Troyes et l'Ecole nationale des chartes. Il s'agissait, lors de ces journées, de donner l'occasion à des chercheurs venus d'horizons divers de s'interroger sur la postérité de ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler " romans de chevalerie ". Les différentes interventions n'ont pas eu pour objet de présenter la survie des textes en eux-mêmes, mais plutôt de mettre en lumière le rôle des intermédiaires, qu'ils aient succombé aux charmes de la réécriture, exploité les avancées de la science philologique ou mobilisé les res...
