Zwerger's dreamy watercolors are delicate, sensitive.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of Lisbeth Zwerger (English and German Edition) (Paperback)
As an art student intensely interested in children's book illustration, I was excited to find this Lisbeth Zwerger book. If you are looking for a showcase of the artist's delicate watercolor style - and not especially interested in much text or biographical info on the artist, you will find this well-designed book to be a treasure. I am thrilled to add it to my collection.

Wonderful book. I was very excited to get this book and, oh, what a joy it was to look through the pages! My only wish was to see more and more and more... Beautiful edition as well. If you are looking for the full biography of the artist and the descriptions of her drawings and styles, this book is not for you. The book presents only visual homage to the works of the interesting illustrator filling each page with the magic of fairy tales. To my mind, Lizbeth Zwerger stands in line with some of my favourite fairy tales illustrators: Rackham, Dulac, Bilibin. Her work delights and inspires.
My only disappointment was to see some of the Andersen's tales illustrations in a very small format. I really hope to see larger, more complete edition of her works some day.
