Here or there at the Museum of Contemporary Sculpture in Orońsko

For nearly a decade, Polish illustration has been in a period of great flourishing. We observe this especially in the children’s book market. Many talented artists and their diversity and ingenuity supported by the courage of publishers mean that we have more and more unique books to choose from. We know that reading to children is important. But are we aware that the image accompanying the text is equally powerful? And the illustrator, the graphic designer of the book, is a creator equal to the author of the text? The exhibition presents the works of 14 illustrators and graphic designers. Among them are those already recognized in Poland and abroad, winners of national and international awards. There are also those in whom we see potential and hope for their further development. However, each of them treats the child as a partner, as a sensitive reader of their visual language. Each of them tells a story with a picture. Thanks to them, books are created that are children’s first contact with art.
