Abstract: | Since, technically speaking, a drawing is, by definition, meant as connotation and the illustrator (insisted on in this paper) is, with very few exceptions, as faithful to the textual message as needed, it seems interesting to understand which modes of expression the artist chooses in order to render the message, why he prefers a particular line or shape, how he combines them, why he organizes his compositions the way he does. Image and text coexist, interrelate and complete each other, both semantically and aesthetically. |
