Brian Wildsmith Livres
Brian Wildsmith croyait que les beaux livres illustrés sont d'une importance capitale pour former inconsciemment l'appréciation visuelle d'un enfant, ce qui portera ses fruits plus tard dans la vie. Son œuvre déborde de couleurs et de vie, un contraste saisissant avec sa propre enfance dans un village minier gris où l'imagination était la clé. Reconnu comme l'un des plus grands illustrateurs pour enfants vivants, Wildsmith s'est forgé une réputation grâce à son style visuel unique et vibrant.
