  • THE ROLES of the VISUAL in PICTUREBOOKS: BEYOND the CONVENTIONS of CURRENT DISCOURSE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillme
    THE ROLES OF THE VISUAL IN PICTUREBOOKS: BEYOND THE CONVENTIONS OF CURRENT DISCOURSE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Dominic Catalano, BS, MA, MFA ****** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Sydney Walker, Advisor ___________________________________ Professor Ken Marantz Advisor Professor Janet Hickman Art Education Graduate Program Copyright by Dominic Catalano 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this investigation is to examine the meaning making potential of the visual properties of the literary and artistic genre known as the picturebook. In addition, the means in which we come to understand the visual in picturebooks is challenged, particularly in regards to written text and in context within the conventions of the larger picturebook community. Through primarily a poststructural semiotic analysis of three major post-1960s picturebook works (plus an addtional work produced by this author), this study demonstrates the deeper potentials of meaning in the visual elements of illustration and design qualties beyond current discourse. Lastly, this deeper potential meaning is qualified as to its impact on the picturebook field itself, as to the making, interpretation, and criticism of picturebooks, and to the utilization in education, especially the practise of visual art education. ii Dedicated to my wife, Oksana, my calm port in life’s stormy sea iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Sydney Walker, for her encouragement and support throughout the writing of this study, and Drs. Kenneth Marantz and Janet Hickman for their expertise in the field.

  • Jean De Brunhoff, the French Artist Who Created One of the Most Enduring Fictional Characters of All Time, Was Born in Paris in 1899
    ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES Jean and Laurent de Brunhoff Jean de Brunhoff (1899–1937) Jean de Brunhoff, the French artist who created one of the most enduring fictional characters of all time, was born in Paris in 1899. When he was in his early thirties, the father of two young boys, de Brunhoff wrote and illustrated Histoire de Babar, le petit éléphant (1931), the story of an orphan who makes his way to the big city and learns the ways of humankind before returning home to become king of the elephants. De Brunhoff’s elegant story, told in simple prose and clear, lush images, was embraced by French readers and was soon translated into English. In six sequels written before his untimely death at the age of thirty-seven, de Brunhoff continued the story of the good-hearted elephant in the green suit who lives well, rules benevolently, and does his best to be a good father. Jean was the youngest of four children born to Maurice de Brunhoff, a successful Parisian publisher, and his Alsatian wife, Marguerite. All Jean’s siblings followed their father into the publishing industry: his brother Michel was named editor-in-chief of the Paris edition of Vogue in 1929; his brother Jacques was the founding editor of Le décor d’aujourd’hui, a magazine of art deco- era home design; and his eldest sibling, Cosette, a photographer, was the wife of Lucien Vogel, a highly influential figure in French magazine journalism. As director of Condé Nast’s style magazine Le Jardin des modes, Vogel made possible the publication of Histoire de Babar in 1931.

  • French Children's Literature
    FRENCH CHILDREN’S LITERATURE FOR ‘THE CHILDREN OF THE VIDEOSPHERE’ JEAN PERROT Université Paris 13 Abstract: What characterises children’s publishing in France at this time of a uniform worldwide culture imposed in a positive fashion by the 1989 Declaration of Children’s Rights and, more dubiously, by glob- alization and electronic reproduction? Can we speak of the influence on it of a new multinational republic of children through the increasing number of translations from other countries or does French children’s literature rest only on a few successful classics such as Jean de Brunhoff’s Babar or Charles Perrault’s tales, among which Little Red Riding Hood is a world’s bestseller? The purpose of this paper is to point out the contemporary literary trends evincing a new awareness of our writers, artist creators and publish- ing houses expressing the sensibility of our reading public. Key words: illusion, imagination, literacy, play, pleasure, publishing, surprise French résumé. [Translation Laurence Pasa]. Qu’est-ce qui caractérise la littérature de jeunesse en France à notre époque où une culture mondiale uniforme a été imposée de façon positive par la Déclaration en 1989 des Droits de l’enfant et, de façon plus contestable, par la globalisation et la reproduction électronique? Pouvons-nous parler de l’influence sur celle-ci d’une nouvelle république multinationale des enfants du fait du nombre croissant des traduc- tions étrangères ou la littérature des enfants français repose-t-elle uniquement sur quelques classiques de qualité, comme le Babar de Jean de Brunhoff's ou les Contes de Charles Perrault, dont Le petit Chaperon Rouge est un best-seller mondial? Le but de cette contribution est d’identifier les tendances littéraires contemporaines qui révèlent une nouvelle conscience de nos auteurs, créateurs, artistes et maisons d’édition, expression de la sensibilité de notre jeune public.
