Opis

Illustrations play a crucial role in children's literature, enhancing the overall reading experience and contributing to young readers' cognitive, emotional, and social development. Philosophers, sociologists, and aestheticians nowadays assert that we live in the age of the image, which means that television, cinema, video, and computer screens tend to exceed and maybe even replace Gutenberg-era printed materials. Visual communication is, of course, not a novelty: the gesture, mimics, and different symbolic instances, all sent messages long before writing was used. Throughout history, however, artists have worked to give shape to the harmonies they discovered in the visible world around them. Without visual communication, the history of facts and culture, the preservation of the memory of mankind in documents, from the carved walls or slabs to the books written on a computer, would not be possible.
