Arthur Rackham

British, 1867–1939

Arthur Rackham (1867–1939) war der führende englische Illustrator der edwardianischen "Goldenen Ära" der Buchillustration. Seine atmosphärischen Aquarelle —verkrüppelte Bäume mit düsteren Gesichtern, zarte Feen und schattenhafte Kobolde— erweckten Klassiker wie Rip Van Winkle, Peter Pan in den Kensington Gardens, Alice im Wunderland, die Märchen der Brüder Grimm und Wagners Ring des Nibelungen zum Leben. Zu seinen Lebzeiten als signierte limitierte Ausgaben verkauft, gehören seine reich detaillierten Platten zu den beliebtesten und sammelwürdigsten in der gesamten Fantasy-Illustration.
