Nathalie Parain

 

Born in Kiev in 1897, Nathalie Parain studied at the Vkhutemas in Moscow. In the 1920s she moved to Paris with her husband, the philosopher Brice Parain. Inspired by constructivist theories, poster design and education, she started dedicating herself to illustration for children. In 1930 he illustrated Mon chat (My cat) written by André Beucler and published by Gallimard. Then she met the publisher and pedagogue Paul Faucher who offered her to illustrate for Les albums du Père Castor. Today Nathalie Parain is considered one of the major artists. It still has a great influence on contemporary children's picture books.

It is the first definitive monograph on Nathalie Parain. It brings together illustrations, excerpts from books and unpublished material. Interviews with her daughter and texts written by children's literature experts offer insightful perspectives on her work.

Martin Claus, 1880-1956 (at least that's what we think, but it might be not totally correct), german illustrator. We don't know much about his life, we can try to stitch together a timeline of his career from the dates of some of his works

 The earliest example of his illustration is from a 1919 edition of the satirical magazine Meggendorfer Bl ätter, he would have been 31 years old, so it's sure that there are earlier works, but there's no evidence of them. Probably he was employed by the magazine as a staff artist. He had a different range of styles and techniques used all with technical and creative success .

WLOP

  WLOP (real name Wang Ling) is a hobbyist digital artist from China, actually based in Hong Kong; very well-known for her painting process videos, where he reflects detailed stories within the fantasy genre. He is very active in the main social media where he can showcase his art, like YouTube, Devianart, or ArtStation, as well as being active in Patreon. In YouTube, he uses the speedpaint process to show its painting process from beginning to end, with Photoshop as its main content platform. WLOP's art is beautiful and amazing, extraordinarily sensitive and nostalgic. It represents normally female characters in active or emotional scenes, sharing its whole photoshop painting process from beginning to end so its community can learn from him.
