布莱恩·瓦尔德史密斯(Brian Wildsmith)是英国图画书界的常青树,有着“华丽色彩大师”之称。他创造了华丽奔放的图画书世界。
布莱恩·瓦尔德史密斯于1930年出生于英国约克郡,毕业于巴斯利美术学院和伦敦大学艺术系(斯莱德美术学院),曾做过数学、音乐教师,之后专心从事绘画创作。他善于混合运用水彩、水粉、彩粉、拼贴等多种表现手法,以自由大胆的色彩、构图和变形著称。
布莱恩创作出版过八十多种绘本,被译成约二十种文字,是世界知名的大师级图画书作家。1962年的处女作《怀念史密斯ABC》让他一鸣惊人,夺下英国插画界格林威大奖,这是英国图画书界的最高奖项。1994年,日本建成布莱恩?瓦尔德史密斯博物馆,特别展出这位大师的珍贵原作。
评论家赞美,“他不只是插画家,内心更像一位哲学家”。他本人深信好的图画书可以更早亲近艺术与文化。“图画书结合图画与想象,美丽的创作可以提升孩子的视觉感受力,影响是一辈子”,“孩子的小小心灵就像一本空白的书,等待记载爱、幽默、同情与智慧。
