Description
We are delighted to announce a special conversation between acclaimed children’s author and illustrator Oliver Jeffers and Martin Salisbury, whose new book Oliver Jeffers celebrates the life and work of a global superstar.
Oliver Jeffers has carved an extraordinary career that shows no sign of slowing. Still only in his forties, he has published an array of hugely popular books, both as illustrator and author–illustrator. This overview of his life and work so far displays what a remarkable talent he is, and how he has tirelessly pushed the boundaries of what a picture book can be.
This addition to Thames & Hudson’s acclaimed Illustrators series is the first book to focus closely on Oliver Jeffers’s practice as an illustrator, offering an in-depth analysis of his processes, influences, styles and subjects as they have changed over time. This conversation will focus on the practice of illustrating for children.
Martin Salisbury is Professor of Illustration at Cambridge School of Art in Anglia Ruskin University, where he developed the renowned MA Children’s Book Illustration programme. He is the author of a number of books on the practice and theory of illustration, for publishers Laurence King and Thames & Hudson. These have been published in many languages and countries around the world.
Ticket price includes a glass of wine or a soft drink.
