SURREALISM AND SAINT EXUPERY’S ILLUSTRATIONS FOR THE LITTLE PRINCE. Authors: . |
||||||
Abstract: Surrealism and Saint-Exupéry’s Illustrations for The Little Prince. Considered one of the bestselling books of all time, The Little Prince’s fame is not only due to its story, but also to its illustrations. This essay proposes a surrealist reading of the images which will be argued from a historical perspective – discussing the proximity and the dialog between Saint-Exupéry and members of the surrealist group – correlated with an art history analysis. A formal, stylistic and thematic analysis will point out the common traits in Saint-Exupéry’s visual expression and the works of artist such as Dalí and Magritte. The use of a surrealist visual language, combined with a literary masterpiece that is not surrealist is one of the main reasons for the persistence of this book’s popularity up till today. Keywords: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince, Book illustrations, multimedia art, Surrealism, André Breton, Salvador Dalí, René Magritte.
