"Should this catalogue and exhibition aim

to represent or reflect the current state

of illustration in children's publishing? Or should it be

a more idealistic selection based on artistic excellence

and aspiration?". These are just a few of the

questions that occurred to the international

panel of jurors as they selected the

artwork for the 2010 Bologna Illustrators

Exhibition.

This official catalogue showcases these recent

works by the finest established and emerging

illustrators of children's literature. It also

includes essential biographical information on the

featured artists, making this an ideal reference

catalogue for everyone who appreciates contemporary

children's book illustration.
