Tove Jansson - Paul Gravett - książka
Producent: Thames AND Hudson
This book offers an in-depth look at the intriguing life and artistic legacy of Tove Jansson, famed globally for creating the beloved Moomin series that captivates both children and adults alike. It presents a fresh angle on Jansson's creative path, underscoring her status as one of the most innovative and influential illustrators of the 20th century. The readers embark on a detailed exploration of her cherished Moomin books, alongside her unique renditions of enduring classics such as Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," "The Hunting of the Snark," and J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit." Jansson's upbringing in a Swedish-speaking Finnish family in Helsinki instilled in her a deep passion for art and storytelling. Her artistic journey commenced early, with her first illustrated stories being published at the age of fourteen. At fifteen, she began contributing satirical and political cartoons, as well as eye-catching covers, to the magazine Garm. Her work was a reflection of the tumultuous times during the Second World War, all the while she evolved from an art student to a painter, muralist, bohemian, and openly lesbian artist. The book also delves into the creation and growth of Jansson's magical Moomin universe, which first came to life in her children's book debut in 1945, followed by comic strips in newspapers. This success led to her association with the London Evening News, then the world's highest-selling evening newspaper, to produce a daily Moomin comic strip. This substantial collection of work highlights her storytelling progression, vivid landscapes, and a richly diverse cast of characters. Beyond her illustrations, Jansson wrote several novels, which are also reviewed in this book, offering glimpses drawn from her personal writings.
