It's time to share this masterpiece that I love so much!!
This is a French children's book for Les Misérables adapted by Luc Lefort & Illustrated by Gérard Dubois, Nathan Edition (2002)
It contains only the first and second volumes of the story in 58 pages.

It contains 23 illustrations, here are literally all of them!!
For me, this is the most unusual children's book in the style of illustration.
I find the illustrations unique and beautiful and I love how the characters look like dolls but at the same time I don't think this type of illustration is very appropriate to be in a children's book cuz it just looks dark and weird a little bit..? idk

It’s important that what thoughts you are feeding into your mind because your thoughts create your belief and experiences. You have positive thoughts and you have negative ones too. Nurture your mind with positive thoughts: kindness, empathy, compassion, peace, love, joy, humility, generosity, etc. The more you feed your mind with positive thoughts, the more you can attract great things into your life.
~Roy T. Bennett.

"Moby Dick" (? - Gérard DuBois) / "Viva La Vida, Watermelons" (1954 - Frida Kahlo)
MOBY DICK: Herman Melville biographer Laurie Robertson-Lorant saw Ahab's hunt for Moby Dick as a metaphor for "man's search for meaning in a world of deceptive appearances and fatal delusions" and "the limitations of scientific knowledge and the impossibility of achieving certainty".
In this incredible painting the Whale is like a biblical angel, preparing to smite the hubris of an overly self-confident Humanity. (@welcome-to-the-night-gallery)
VIVA LA VIDA, WATERMELONS: [no additional commentary] (@gaysheep)
("Moby Dick" is an illustration by French artist Gérard DuBois.
"Viva la Vida, Watermelons" is an oil on masonite painting by Frida Kahlo. It measures 59.5 x 50.8 cm (23.4 x 20 in) and is held at the Frida Kahlo Museum in Mexico City. The painting was finished a few days before her death.)

Gérard DuBois was commissioned to illustrate a new Folio Society edition of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. His acrylic paintings, described by the judges as ‘masterpieces’, capture the beauty and brutality of McCarthy’s text.

【素敵な洋書絵本の紹介】 ミラは子供のころの思い出がときどきよみがえってきます。そう、9歳のときの。 夢と不眠症のあいだで起こったことは、20年後もここで別の形で続いています。 父親が撮った古い写真を見たり、赤い風船が足元を転がったり、なにかが彼女の心の中で震えています。 戦争のトラウマ、記憶、希望の回想録。 ミラと彼女の家族は爆撃された村を離れ、スーツケースを手に何週間も並ぶのです。より良い生活に移るために。 彼女の叔父の失踪の記憶と迫り来る雲の接近は、過去と現在、現実と非現実の境界線を曖昧にし続けています。 心の奥底に残っている苦い思い出。 まるでモノクロームの映画のように、イメージの断片が重なり合い、少しずつ紐解かれていきます。 Who Owns the Clouds? Contributor(s): Brassard, Mario (Author) , DuBois, Gérard (Illustrator) EAN: 9781774880210 Publisher: Tundra Books (NY) Binding: Hardcover Pub Date: January 10, 2023 Target Age Group: 12 and UP Physical Info: 1.52 cms H x 24.64 cms L x 18.29 cms W (0.43 kgs) 100 pages Annotation: "Even though Mila is no longer 9 years old, her childhood memories sometimes overtake her. What happened there, halfway between dreaming and insomnia, continues in other forms here, twenty years later. Whether it's seeing a very old photo taken by her father, a red balloon rolling at her feet, or just lining up at a wicket, something still trembles in her. If the clouds sometimes remind her of where she came from, she guesses that they can also teach her where to go..."-- #gerarddubois #readleafbooks #art #picturebooks #本 #本棚 #絵本 #児童書 #絵本屋 #洋書絵本 #絵本が好き #絵本が好きな人と繋がりたい #芸術 #英語 #イラスト    @readleafbooks Webショップで紹介中。プロフィールからぜひどうぞ! https://www.instagram.com/p/CpCy_X5vidG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Susanna and the Elders, Restored - X-Ray" (1998 - Kathleen Gilje) / "Moby Dick" (? - Gérard DuBois)
SUSANNA AND THE ELDERS, RESTORED - X-RAY: The piece by artemisia gentileschi I would like to humbly submit is actually a little unique, as it is both by artemesia and by another artist. You see the original painting is called "Susanna and the Elders", and it represents the story of Susanna being spied on, naked, by town elders and then they try to blackmail her into having sex with them. When she refuses, they try and put her on trial for sexual immorality (claiming she slept with them). Her name is eventually cleared. It was typical, in the era that artemisia gentileschi was painting, to depict the story of Susanna as that of a sexy lady bathing sexily and coquettishly, aware and flirty with the elders spying on her. artemisia was having fucking none of it. Her final painting is a departure from this style of depiction showing Susanna visibly uncomfortable with the lecherous elders. BUT THIS ISN'T THE VERSION I'M SUBMITTING. You see, artemisia gentileschi had (supposedly) made an earlier version of this painting, and been asked to paint it over as it was "too disturbing". Although that version is lost to the ages, Kathleen Gilje created a version of that image, underpainted using lead and visible by xray, inspired by artemisia's own life. Without going into disrespectful detail, artemisia gentileschi was sexually assaulted in her life. And she poured some of her rage about it into this painting, before (apocraphally) being forced to sanitize it (into something still radically different than the mainstream depiction). The rage and horror that bleeds through the x-ray version of Susanna and the Elders? Makes me feel like my bones are being liquefied. I feel holy righteous rage and solidarity and love for a woman nearly 4 centuries removed. I feel things too embarrassingly personal to put in a poll.Artemisia Gentileschi based the bodies of both Judith in the first painting and Susanna in the second on her own. Perhaps because of this, perhaps simply because of her immense skill as an artist, the women (and situations) in these paintings feel real. I feel like I could reach out and touch. Gilje's depiction of anguish and the connection made to artemisia's life is palpable. (@sepulchral-pulchritude)
MOBY DICK: This is Gerard Dubois' cover illustration for a recent French language edition of the classic novel. It's a stunning work, visually and thematically. Captain Ahab: you know the type. Rashly self-confident, indifferent to any consideration beyond his own schemes, not a scrap of wisdom. His response to losing a limb is to double down. Captain Ahab as tech bro is befitting, Nantucket whalers being the high tech of their day. How easy it is to picture Ahab swapping grievances with Elon or Zuck over cocktails on a superyacht. The Whale seems only curious about this wierd little man, but what does Ahab spy with his little Eye? Could it be his own Shadow: insecurity, inadequacy, and insignificance? And amusement: who are you laughing at? Those are insults worth sacrificing all hands to erase. [Was the crew of the Pequod all-in? Or did they just need the work?] Hubris is as old as humanity itself. (@welcome-to-the-night-gallery)
("Susanna and the Elders, Restored" is a painting by American artist and art restorer Kathleen Gilje based on "Susanna and the Elders" by Artemisia Gentileschi. Gilje painted a more violent interpretation of the scene in lead paint, then painted a copy of the original Susanna and the Elders over top. This x-ray of the painting was then done to reveal the dual picture. It is not an x-ray of the original painting by Gentileschi.
"Moby Dick" is an illustration by French artist Gérard DuBois.)
