The exhibition Le immagini della fantasia,
The exhibition Le immagini della fantasia, curated by Monica Monachesi, contains 52 original illustrations by major international artists showing an amazing panorama on recently published books . Roberto Innocenti, winner of the Hans Christian Andersen Prize in 2008, will be present.
Initiated in 1982 from an idea of the Prague born illustrator Štěpán Zavřel, The Images of Imagination showcases the languages of contemporary illustration emphasizing the uniqueness of each individual artist.
In all its editions, the Sarmede mostra dell’illustrazione per l’infanzia offers a sweeping view of the illustration on the international level, presenting the latest and most unique productions of contemporary illustration.
The creator of the show, Štěpán Zavřel in Sarmede, has also started a charming tradition that has deeply marked the appearance of Sarmede: since the 80s, this picturesque town of the March of Treviso has seen its walls become veritable works of art in the balance between dream and reality. After the death of Štěpán Zavřel the tradition of murals has been carried out by many artists and now boasts 50 frescoes that make the city of Sarmede unique in its kind. One of the strengths of the Sarmede festival is to stimulate the culture and the importance of the pedagogical value of the book. Since 1991 the exhibition Images of Imagination travels through Europe while since 1988, the Sarmede international school of Illustration favours precious moments of encounter and exchange between the cultural background of teachers and new ideas from children’s book illustrators.
