Warwick Goble

British, 1862–1943

Warwick Goble (1862–1943) war ein englischer Illustrator, der für seine zarten Aquarellillustrationen von Märchen und Folklore aus aller Welt gefeiert wurde. Er ist am besten bekannt für seine sensiblen Interpretationen japanischer, indischer und bengalischer Geschichten — Green Willow and Other Japanese Fairy Tales, Folk-Tales of Bengal und Indian Myth and Legend — sowie für englische Märchenpoesie und das italienische Pentamerone. Sein leuchtender, dekorativer Stil, geprägt von der japanischen Holzschnittkunst, machte ihn zu einer der markanten Stimmen des goldenen Zeitalters der Illustration.
