先是在臉書看到這些插圖,出自《A Little Boy Lost》(1920),
作者是W. H. Hudson,插畫是Dorothy P. Lathrop,
因為畫風相當吸引人,於是開始了網路搜尋Dorothy P. Lathrop之旅。
很快在古騰堡網站找到這本書的數位版,雖然插圖有點小,
但比amazon的無圖純文字版本好多了。
再找了一下,這位插畫家作品的中文版裡,目前只找到這本舊童書:
《木頭娃娃奇遇記》(精裝)
Rachel Field原作 譯者:何育紅等
出版社:智茂 出版日:1993-02 ISBN:9789575354145
這本原始出版於1929年的童書,由於得了紐伯瑞金獎,所以才有中譯本吧。
而且北市圖也找得到此書的原文版《Hitty, Her First Hundred Years》(有新和舊兩個版本)。(立馬預約)
但這些都無法滿足我想看清楚大彩圖的渴望,看了一下wiki的介紹,
發現關於這位插畫家最詳盡的介紹和作品圖錄是2006年美國The Brandywine River Museum所辦的展覽目錄:《Flora, Fauna, and Fantasy: The Art of Dorothy Lathrop》,原文見以下。
The best single source about Lathrop's art and life is the catalogue of a 2006 exhibition of Lathrop's art, presented by The Brandywine River Museum in Chadd's Ford, PA, the museum best known as the repository of much of the Wyeth family's artwork. That exhibition catalogue, "Flora, Fauna, and Fantasy: The Art of Dorothy Lathrop," contains essays, all profusely illustrated by Lathrop's artwork, by Anne Roberts ("Dorothy Lathrop's World," a brief biography), Virginia O'Hara (who contributes the longer keynote essay, with the same title as the catalogue itself and many illustrations), and Charles Semowich ("Dorothy P. Lathrop, Printmaker").
再找了一下,發現這本畫展目錄還不難入手:
於是就下訂啦!
