Жизнь в картинках
Свен Нурдквист дебютировал как писатель и иллюстратор в 1983 году. С тех пор он написал и проиллюстрировал много книг — как чужих, так и своих собственных. У большинства людей Нурдквист ассоциируется в первую очередь с Петсоном и Финдусом. На самом деле его творчество выходит далеко за рамки знаменитой серии. Надеемся, эта книга позволит узнать художника получше. Некоторые иллюстрации Нурдквист прокомментировал сам, а некоторые не нуждаются в объяснениях. Листайте, удивляйтесь и наслаждайтесь!

About the author
Sven Nordqvist
172 books283 followersSven Nordqvist (born 30 April 1946) is a Swedish writer and illustrator of children's books. He is best known for his series Pettson and Findus, about an old farmer, Pettson, and his talented cat, Findus.
Nordqvist was born in Helsingborg and grew up in Halmstad, Sweden. He originally wanted to be an illustrator but was rejected by several art schools. Instead he studied architecture at Lund Institute of Technology, and worked for a time there as a lecturer in architecture. At the same time he continued to look for work as an illustrator working on advertisements, posters and picture books. In 1983 he won first prize in a children's book competition and since then has worked exclusively as an author and illustrator of children's books.
He is married and has two grown sons.
During his career, he has been given awards in both Sweden and Germany. His Pettson and Findus books are especially popular in Germany, where the characters are known as Pettersson and Findus. In Danish they are called Peddersen and Findus. In Finnish they are called Pesonen and Viiru. And in English, Festus and Mercury, though English translations of the books exist with the original names kept.
In 2007 he won the literary award Augustpriset in the children's books category, for his book Var är min syster? ("Where is my sister?"). In 1992 he won the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis

Маленькая, но удаленькая книга иллюстраций Свена с его же комментариями и рассказами о его жизни.
Спектр техник и стиля в его работах достаточно широк - есть и живопись, и офорт, и литография, и чёрно-белая графика. Но честно говоря, мне больше всего по душе его иллюстрации к книжкам про Петсона и Финдуса (и другим в этом же стиле). Много деталей, которые интересно разглядывать.
Хорошее издание.

October 7, 2018Har alltid älskat hans bilder och här finns mycket samlat, allt från de kända barnboksillustrationerna till reklamblad. Gillar att man får läsa om vilken bok är hans egna favorit samt vad han tecknar/målar på sin fritid. Vill rama in allt!

En jättefin bok där man verklig inblick i "allt" som Sven Nordqvist har gjort. Bilder från de mest kända böckerna finns med, men man upptäcker även annat helt nytt. Det är också intressant att få ta del av hans olika tekniker och hur han jobbat med olika uppdrag på olika sätt. Kan varmt rekommenderas!

Fåordigt där illustrationerna får ta största plats. Mina två största aha: att jag älskar Nordqvists verk gjorda med andra tekniker minst lika mycket som bilderboksverken, och att jag tyckt att Pettson och Findus-illustrationerna har rörelse (men att det nog finns mer rörelse än det jag medvetet snappat upp)! 🤩
