"To encourage children to read with pleasure one approach may be to include works of humor among the selections. This requires a knowledge, on the part of the selector, of children's authors who are outstanding in presenting humor on a child's level of understanding. In this field one of the most successful is Louis Slobodkin, who has both written and illustrated children's books. Consideration of these works is the purpose of this paper, which presents the life of Slobodkin with emphasis on his development as an illustrator: reviews and summarizes the critic's opinion of the seventeen books that he has contributed to children's literature, and gives a bibliography of his works"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "August, 1957." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Ruth H.

Czech Artists and their Fairy Tale Illustrations between 1990 and 2010 This diploma thesis focuses on Czech artists and their illustrations of Fairy tales between 1990 and 2010. The introduction outlines goal of my thesis, methodological procedures and structure. At the beginning we deal with literary fairy-tale - with its origin, foundation, construction, implications and evidence of its existence in Czech Republic and abroad. The following chapters relate to illustrations generally. It dedicates to the history of illustrating books for children and young people in the 20 century. The main part of my thesis is focused on mapping cultural history traditions and innovation in fairy tales' illustrations between 1990 and 2010. The author finds that the period between 1990 and 1999 was linked primarily to the previous tradition. There were issued primarily selections of generally known fairy tales illustrated by affirmed artists. In contrast, according to the author in the period 2000-2010, the situation has changed. The main interest switched to a modern fairy tales, often authoring books, which were illustrated by young artists of new generation. In that time photographs were used as an illustration and other non-traditional techniques have begun to be very popular.

Contudo, a respeito da circulação dessas obras no século XXI, percebemos a existência de poucos estudos, estando a temática dispersa em diferentes espaços de buscas e de pesquisas, o que traz dificuldades aos pesquisadores da área quando se trata da identificação dos autores portugueses no campo da produção lusófona. Nesse sentido, nessa dissertação pretendemos contribuir tanto para o dimensionamento e entendimento deste campo de pesquisa em sua historicidade, quanto para o alargamento da compreensão e das relações entre literatura infantojuvenil e o mercado em que ela está inserida. A interrogação dos dados, confrontados com outras informações levantadas nesta pesquisa, permitiu-nos apontar para alguns fatores que, ao que parece, vêm acarretando uma mudança no cenário desta produção, fomentando sua circulação e consolidando a presença desta literatura no mercado brasileiro, nos últimos anos. Neste trabalho, inventariamos e investigamos as obras infantojuvenis portuguesas à venda em uma grande livraria brasileira, no período de agosto de 2010 a dezembro de 2011. Examinamos a relação entre a quantidade de títulos disponíveis, bem como as editoras (brasileiras e portuguesas) que as publicam, considerando as conexões entre as coleções, os escritores, os ilustradores e a data de publicação/impressão das obras. Buscamos, ainda, conhecer e perceber as preferências, continuidades e descontinuidades do percurso produtivo desta literatura, mediada por questões educacionais, mercadológicas, comemorativas e de fomento do setor. Procuramos, também, percorrer algumas das mais relevantes projeções dos livros infantojuvenis portugueses na mídia brasileira. Foram localizados 128 livros de escritores/ilustradores portugueses disponíveis para venda, todos voltados para o público infantil e/ou juvenil e publicados por 26 editoras. 61 destas obras foram publicadas no Brasil por 17 editoras brasileiras, enquanto que 67 foram importadas, tendo sido publicadas/impressas por 9 editoras portuguesas. As obras foram escritas por 52 autores/coautores, dos quais 46 são portugueses; dos 63 ilustradores, 25 são portugueses. A perspectiva teórico-metodológica é constituída por estudos da História Cultural (Chartier, 1999 e 1996); pelas pesquisas do estado da arte (Ferreira, 1999) e pelos estudos de pesquisadores da Literatura infantil portuguesa, principalmente Barreto (2002, 1998), Rocha (2001) e Ferreira (2008). / Abstract: In Brazil there are several researches on Portuguese works devoted to children. These works were widely diffused during the 19th century and in the early decades of the 20th century. But there are few studies about the diffusion of Portuguese children's Literature in the 21st century. This subject is spread in different places to look for them or to study them. This fact can cause some trouble to researchers in this area of knowledge when they want to identify Portuguese authors in the area of Portuguese speakers output. In such case, this dissertation intends to contribute not only to survey and to understand this area of investigation within its history but it also aims to enlarge the conception and the relation between children's Literature and the market where it is published. When we discuss data and compare them with other information that was concluded by this research, it is possible to point out some factors that are changing the scenery of children's Literature output. This fact has recently stimulated its diffusion and has solidified the presence of this Literature in Brazilian market. In this research we registered and investigated Portuguese books for children and youths that were available in a great Brazilian bookstore from August 2010 to December 2011. We observed the relation between the amount of available titles as well as Brazilian and Portuguese publishing companies where the books were printed and we observed the relations between the books, the authors, the illustrators and the period when the books were printed. We also tried to know and to realize the preferences, the duration or interruption of the productive trajectory of this Literature which is mediated by questions related to education, market, celebrations and stimulation of the sector. We also tried to exam some of the most important Portuguese books outputs for children and youths in Brazilian media. We localized one hundred and twenty-eight available books written or drawn by Portuguese writers or illustrators. All these books are dedicated to children and youths. The books were published by twenty-six publishing companies. Sixty-one books were published in Brazil by seventeen Brazilian publishing companies. Sixty-seven books were imported and they were published by nine Portuguese publishing companies. The books were written by fifty-two authors or co-authors. Forty-six authors are Portuguese. Among sixty-three illustrators we have twenty-five Portuguese artists. The theoretical and methodological perspective is based on studies of Cultural History (Chartier, 1999, 1996), on the researches on the State of Art (Ferreira, 1999) and researchers into Portuguese Children's Literature especially Barreto (2002, 1998), Rocha (2011) and Ferreira (2008). / Mestrado / Educação, Conhecimento, Linguagem e Arte / Mestra em Educação

Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly et les arts visuels peut sembler un sujet de thèse paradoxal, tant il est convenu de considérer Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly comme incompétent dans le domaine artistique. Catholique, à la fois romancier, diariste, épistolier et critique d’art éphémère, il demeure l’un des auteurs les plus inclassables du XIXe siècle. Si le critique d’art est généralement contesté, nous proposons ici un jugement plus nuancé. Nous montrons combien l’esthétique de son écriture profane et catholique renvoie à des évocations qui sont de véritables transpositions d’œuvres d’art, où sculpture et peinture rivalisent. Quelques couleurs spécifiques sont en effet récurrentes au point de faire l’objet d’une évidente déclinaison liturgique. Au plan matériel, son goût pour la couleur est démontré par ses manuscrits. Barbey révèle au monde une écriture picturale, mais aussi une personnalité source d’inspiration et de représentation pour de nombreux artistes. Nous nous attachons également à la réception du personnage, afin de montrer comment le dandy spectaculaire, devient lui-même œuvre d’art pour ses contemporains et un sujet d’artefacts, dont les sculpteurs Zacharie Astruc et Auguste Rodin s’emparent en lui façonnant chacun un buste de bronze. Nous montrons enfin combien Barbey est une source d’inspiration pour divers artistes, allant des illustrateurs par images fixes, jusqu’aux adaptateurs, réalisateurs cinéastes et téléastes. / Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly and the visual arts could be a paradoxical thesis because Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly is considered as incompetent in the artistic domain. Catholic, novelist, diarist, letter writer, and controversial art critic, he is regarded as one of the most unclassifiable authors of the XIXth century. He is one of the last romantics, but also one of the precursors of symbolism. His suggestive writing stimulates the reader’s imagination. If the art critic is controversial, yet the judgment must be qualified. His profane and religious esthetic way of writing suggests a real transposition of master works of arts, rivaling painting and sculpture. Some specific colours keep recurring so that they become the object of an obvious liturgical declension. Graphically, his taste for colour is demonstrated by his manuscripts. Barbey reveals to the world a pictorial way of writing, but also his personality is a source of inspiration and representation for numerous artists. In this thesis, the reader becomes attracted by the reception of his character, a Spectacular Dandy, who becomes a work of art himself for his contemporaries: the sculptors Zacharie Astruc and Auguste Rodin made bronze busts of him. Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly inspires the whole field of the visual arts, from illustrators of his published books, up to adapters, directors, film-makers and television directors.

This thesis is concerned with the illustration for children and its visual perception of the younger school age children in terms of Leisure time education. There are two parts in my thesis, a practical part and a theoretical part. The theoretical part describes the Younger School Age from a view of the Behavioural Psychology and also of the factor participating in an Education and Leisure time education of children. The thesis also includes the illustration, introduced as a part of Art, its historical evolution and an evolution of the Czech Illustration for children. There is also mentioned a personality of the illustrator and his creative language in this part, and moreover there is an introduction of popular illustrators of the 20th century and their production for children. The practical part is focusing on a realization of the project. It is divided in two main parts. The first part is formed by activities related to the Literature and Illustrations for children, being a base for the qualitative research. The second part is devoted to the children perception of single areas relating to the Illustration and its processing by the interviews made with children.
