Anthony Brownie, born in United Kingdom, is a writer and illustrator of children's books, primarily picture books. A lot of children in today's era probably read his books and know the characters illustrated in his books, however, for those who lived in older children's era, like me, might not really know about his books. But anyway, since this exhibition is said to be the brand new, biggest ever exhibition of Anthony Brownie, I decided to give a try figure out who he is and how children can fond of his stories. And the result, satisfying.
Anthony Browne, born in Sheffield, Yorkshire in 1946, is an internationally acclaimed author and illustrator of children's books, with nearly 40 titles to his name. He creates strongly narrative watercolors that blend near-photographic realism with fantastical, surreal touches and ingenious visual puns. His skillful use of color, pattern and background detail subtly conveys an exquisite empathy for his lonely and sensitive child protagonists (both human and ape). One of his notable works is Gorilla.
Browne's books are translated into 26 languages and his illustrations have been exhibited in many countries including; The United States of America, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, France, Korea, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, and Taiwan.
