One of the most important events in the world of illustration,
the Illustrators Exhibition at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair,
has reached its fiftieth edition.
So much has changed in these 50 years but the wish to create a space where new illustration work of quality can emerge has remained unchanged. The Illustrators Annual 2019 brings together the work of 76 artists selected from among the 16,000 plates by 3,200 illustrators from around the world.
With a cover illustration drawn by Igor Oleynikov, winner of the Hans Christian Andersen Award 2018, in addition to the selected works the volume also features contributions by the five jury members: the illustrator and publisher Diego Bianchi, the illustrators Alessandro Sanna and Harriët van Reek, and the children’s publishing professionals Maciej Byliniak and Béatrice Vincent. The edition is completed by an interview with Seymour Chwast.
