Critiques

Hansel and Gretel par Jacob Grimm

Maybe it was just the poor print quality, but I wasn't that impressed by this collection. There weren't even that many illustrations (even though the selling point is Nielsen's artwork), and those that were included do not seem up to Nielsen's quality. It may be earlier (and therefore less well-developed) work than the pieces that I've seen previously, but that doesn't make it any less disappointing.

East of the Sun and West of the Moon: Old Tales… par Kay Nielsen

Classic Norweigian folktales are illustrated by Nielsen's carefully composed line and wash drawings with much success. Nielsen clearly draws inspiration from Aubrey Beardsley, Arthur Rackham, and Japanese woodcut printers, but makes his own unique style from the careful use of colour and shading. For such simplistic compositions, Nielsen imbues them with a wonderful sense of movement, which is what gives his pieces a flare that earns him a place alongside the greatest illustrators of his age.

Kay Nielsen. East of the Sun and West of the Moon par Noel Daniel

This gorgeous edition of Norwegian folktales as illustrated by Kay Nielsen might be an absolute shoe in for my top books of the year list. Taschen’s art publications are always of high quality, but they surpassed themselves with this lush reprint. Nielsen’s illustrations are showcased alongside their accompanying stories wonderfully and the introductory essays provide some much appreciated context on the importance of Asbjørnsen and Moe’s work to collect and chronicle the folktales of Norway, so it is easy to see how this book was a smash hit when it was first published and why Taschen chose to reimagine it for the modern market. What I liked most about this book (besides the illustrations and quality of publication, of course) is the fact that the stories are actually readable. Many collections of this sort either cater to a child audience or become too academic in their transcription, in addition to collecting too many stories of the same sort which quickly becomes tedious to read in any attempt to read the collection cover to cover, but each story stands well alone and is easily accessible by readers of any age. My only small complaint is that Taschen chose to have captions for the images taken straight from the text of the stories, which I felt was alternatingly pointless (readers can either easily identify the match between image and text, or the specific image can apply to many parts of the story) and a wasted opportunity to provide more context and commentary extraneous to the text of the stories.… (plus d'informations)

East of the Sun and West of the Moon par Noel Daniel

I bought this book for the cover art, actually for the interior illustrations. The stories are somewhat disjointed and don't hold my interest as much as American or European fairy tales. I liked "The Lindworm" story. The artwork is stunning, so I will keep the book for that reason. Mr. Nielsen's work is amazing.
