„So leben sie noch heute. Europa illustriert die Grimms | Wanderausstellung im Literaturhaus
In the organizer's words:
Traveling exhibition at the Literaturhaus | "How they still live today. Europe illustrates the Grimms"
The "Children's and Household Tales" by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm are among the most translated and illustrated works in the German language worldwide. A large number of fairy tale editions are published every year, many of which are in the Biedermeier pictorial tradition of Emil Grimm and Ludwig Richter. Images of the German forest and the medieval half-timbered town have become firmly anchored in the collective memory as fairy tale backdrops. However, many illustrators have also broken with the Biedermeier pictorial tradition and taken surprisingly different paths in fairy tale illustration.
The exhibition "How they still live today. Europe illustrates the Grimms" takes a look at contemporary European fairy tale illustration in all its breadth. A representative selection of fairy tale editions from 13 countries shows how free from pictorial traditions, how original, bold and witty the fairy tales can be brought into the present. As in fairy tales, many things are possible: Little Red Riding Hood gets lost in the urban jungle (Roberto Innocenti), Hansel and Gretel wander through the forest as comic figures (Sophia Martineck), the Bremen Town Musicians become militant workers' leaders (Claudia Palmarucci).
The traveling exhibition invites you to rediscover the fantastic and wonderful nature of fairy tales in enchanting and enchanting pictures in a total of 50 picture books on various fairy tales from 13 European countries.
