Abstract

Overzicht (2009) van het werk van Klaas Verplancke met teksten van Pieter van Oudheusden en een voorwoord van Joost Swarte. Met documentaire (20 min) op DVD In twintig jaar ontwikkelde Klaas Verplancke zich van een dienstbaar illustrator van jeugd- en prentenboeken tot een eigenzinnig beeldend auteur wiens tekeningen een eigen leven leiden naast de tekst. Het resulteerde in tentoonstellingen in binnen- en buitenland, en in een reeks bekroningen en nominaties, met als hoogtepunten de toekenning van de Bologna Ragazzi Award voor Ozewiezewoze in (2001) en een finaleplaats bij de Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration voor zijn gehele oeuvre (2005). Bij een eerste, vluchtige blik lijken Verplanckes tekeningen en schilderijen erg verschillend van opzet en uitvoering maar ze tonen altijd de kwaliteiten die hem als illustrator en vormgever kenmerken: een humor die variëert van mild tot sardonisch, een poëtische verbeelding, een voorkeur voor het verbeelden van abstracte begrippen en universele emoties, en een dwarse, surrealistische kijk op de werkelijkheid.

Abstract

This remarkable book details the work of one of the most extraordinary publishing enterprises in history. Censor-baiting, provocative, simultaneous publisher of the literary elite and of ‘dirty books’, Jack Kahane’s Obelisk Press published Henry Miller, Anaïs Nin, Lawrence Durrell, D. H. Lawrence, and James Joyce among others. At the same time Kahane subsidised his literary endeavours with cheap erotica and trash fiction from long-forgotten eccentrics such as New York Daily News’ Rome correspondent and self-styled ‘Marco Polo of Sex’ N. Reynolds Packard. Kahane’s business model was simple: if a book was banned in the UK and US it could be profitably published in Paris. Here, for the first time, Neil Pearson has pulled together the incendiary story of Obelisk, including biographies of Kahane and his major and minor authors, and a bibliography of Obelisk books. This beautifully written volume – part cultural history, part reference book – will be required reading for anyone interested in controversial writing, censorship, 1920s Paris, publishing history and authors such as Miller, Joyce and Nin.

Abstract

For years illustration has lacked a strong critical history in which to frame it, with academics and media alike assessing it as part of design rather than a discipline in its own right. Illustration Research Methods addresses this void and adds to a fast-emerging discipline, establishing a lexicon that is specific to discussing contemporary illustration practice and research. The chapters are broken down into the various roles that exist within the industry and which illustration research can draw from, such as 'Reporting' and 'Education'. In doing so, users are able to explore a diverse range of disciplines that are rich in critical theory and can map these existing research methodologies to their own study and practice. Supported by a wealth of case studies from international educators, student projects sit alongside those of world-renowned illustrators. Thus allowing users the opportunity to put what they have learnt into context and offering insight into the thinking and techniques behind some of illustrations' greats.
