| Summary: | "The illustrated image, be it single, sequential or moving, has the inherent potency to communicate to a global audience, without language barriers or the requirement of specialist knowledge. Illustration : A Concise History is a dynamic visual journey through the landscape of illustration that maps the evolution of the discipline fromthe industrial revolution to the post-digital age and showcases over 180 of its most iconic practitioners, including Laura Knight, Antonio Lopez, Kèathe Kollwitz and Hayao Miyazaki. By contextualizing the subject within a framework of key political events, cultural innovations and technological advances, Andrew Hall redefines how we might think about illustration and the place that it has in our ever-evolving global network. The second half of this introductory volume follows on from the ten chapters charting the chronology of illustration to provide a more in-depth look at its specific commercial genresacross eleven feature sections, each including mini-histories, practical career advice and biographies of inspirational practitioners who operated within the field."-- |
