David Wiesner

    5 febbraio 1956

    David Wiesner è sempre stato incuriosito dalla sequenza di pensieri che precedono e seguono un'immagine catturata. Le sue opere possiedono una qualità cinematografica, trasmettendo la progressione delle idee che conducono a un momento particolare e ciò che segue. La carta da parati della sua infanzia, adornata con razzi, teste di elefante e lenti d'ingrandimento, risvegliò una creatività che infonde alla sua arte un'essenza onirica e fantasiosa. Traendo ispirazione dai maestri del Rinascimento ai surrealisti, Wiesner costruisce nuovi mondi sulla carta, spesso attraverso narrazioni senza parole che esplorano la natura della narrazione visiva.

      A 2014 Caldecott Honor Book In a near wordless masterpiece that could only have been devised by David Wiesner, a cat named Mr. Wuffles doesn't care about toy mice or toy goldfish. He's much more interested in playing with a little spaceship full of actual aliens--but the ship wasn't designed for this kind of rough treatment. Between motion sickness and damaged equipment, the aliens are in deep trouble. When the space visitors dodge the cat and take shelter behind the radiator to repair the damage, they make a host of insect friends. The result? A humorous exploration of cooperation between aliens and insects, and of the universal nature of communication involving symbols, "cave" paintings, and gestures of friendship.
