December 2020Diana's World
A journey through Art History
by Claire Parizel, Vanessa Rosa
Diana’s World is a children's book (8-12 years old) that tells the story of Diana, a little girl curious to learn more about the world around her. She is always with her dog Alice, a small, playful white poodle who loves to hunt mice. The two friends are helped by the story's narrator, who will allow them to enter new worlds inspired by art history. From the Italian Renaissance to Song China and 18th century Japan, they will discover things they never imagined… at their own risk. Each scene in the book is inspired by paintings and objects that actually exist.Ukiyo-e for Japan, meditative landscape paintings for China… To construct the images, the authors, who are also art historians, have worked with recent scientific research to give them a sensitive form. They have sought to translate the visual experience of each culture into each of the worlds Diana discovers. This book will be published in Brazil in December. It's the first of a series. We also created a multi language website for it, an instagram page, stickers and much more will soon be released.
