Today I’m wandering the pages of Beauty and the Beast, translated by Richard Howard and illustrated by the marvelous Hilary Knight. The bold colors and wildly swirling lines give the art a powerful sense of movement and energy. Knight delineates his characters not only through their dramatic poses and demonstrative facial expressions but also by adorning them with symbolic animal attributes, externalizations of key moments in their emotional journeys. #hilaryknight #beautyandthebeast #book #books #childrensbooks #fairytalebook #beautifulbook #beautifulbooks #beautifulbookcover #beautifulbookcovers #picturebook #picturebooks #picturebookillustration #picturebookillustrations #picturebookart #classicchildrensbooks #childrensbookillustration #childrensliterature #illustration #kidlit #kidsbooks #bookworm #booklover #booklovers #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagrammers #instabook #instabooks
