Ways of Telling : Conversations on the Art of the Picture Book

A picture book is a dialogue between two worlds: the world of images & the world of words. This is a book of conversations about that dialogue. In 14 interviews, Marcus sparks thoughtful, personal, & often humorous discussion with artists & writers who have made lasting contributions to the illustrated literature of childhood. Readers of this spirited collection will be rewarded with an appreciation of the hidden artistry & complex legacies that inform & animate the child-sized blocks of type & brilliant colors of a unique genre. The conversations here present an exciting foray into the creative process. Along the way, these picture book makers reveal their clear-sighted approaches, often hard-won, to life, art, & childhood. Illustrations.Marcus, Leonard S. is the author of 'Ways of Telling : Conversations on the Art of the Picture Book', published 2005 under ISBN 9780756797041 and ISBN 0756797047.
