Description of article Publikat Publishing Beyond Illustration the finest book
Is Illustration art? When do the bounds between illustration and art
blur? Is there even a clear boundary?
The book BEYOND ILLUSTRATION
published by Publikat is about this discussion. The question “What is
art actually?” bothers people since more than 2000 years already,
countless philosophers and artists have discussed multiple of different
theories and attempts. Now even illustrators are dealing with this
question. Not to long ago they were only considered as service provider,
but meanwhile their trade has developed to a serious art form. 24 of
the worldwide most respected illustrators are presented on 200 coloured
pages. Besides the respective background information, every artist gets
to speak his own personal rating about the subject.
The scope of the used techniques is huge and goes from simple
pencil-scribble to complex digital boosted computer graphics. A definite
relation to one of the both, “Illustration” or “art”, is just not
possible as much as the two genres are fused together. That’s why it’s
no surprise that all participants are favoured and well-regarded artists
in all galeries of the world. As usual the USA
is the cutting-edge, but this trend is also found more and more often
in europe.
The book BEYOND ILLUSTRATION
tries to discuss the phenomenon illustration and gives a wide summary
about the trendsetters of the international scene. It’s a must-have for
all creativ and visual interested people.
