How important are Czech everyday realities for the creation of illustrated books? What makes a landscape typically Czech? Do Czech illustrators wander? If so, do they ever get lost? What were the special secluded places of their childhood? Do these still look the same? Who was their favourite fellow traveller in art in their childhood? Would they still travel with them today? Whose work would they recommend to today’s young readers? And is it right to describe contemporary Czech illustration for children as distinctive? Let’s take a trip together through the landscape of Czech illustration for children.
