Hi, how have you been?
I'm OK, there was nothing special.
Yesterday, I went to Tachikawa to check the Exhibition titled
“Alone Together” of Arnold Lobel.
It was the exhibition of picture books and many sketches by American author Arnold Lobel.
The author takes up simple daily subjects as themes of the stories.
Characters in his books are mainly small animals such as frogs, rats, owls, lizards, snakes, etc. One of his famous works is a series of “Frog and Toad”.
We can naturally feel the importance of having compassion for each other without forcing moral guidance.
The entire book is composed of illustrations with a gentle touch and a few colors and simple sentences.
Though each image is very simple and delicate, the animals are very expressive. This means that his pictures are based on a high level of realism.
C.F.
