Illustrating Alice

An international selection of illustrated editions of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass

Rébecca Dautremer. Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie.

In the interpretation of the french artist Rébecca Dautremer, Alice experiences an adventure which lasts the time of a dream in a land with a gloomy atmosphere. The calm and the silence reign for the whole narration and the noisy Caucus Race lowers its tone. It seems as if the chatter was absorbed by the surrounding waters. To break this peace, the artist introduces some unexpected events which leave the audience out of breath. The viewer, in fact, without notice, is catapulted into the scene or thrown out of it by a refined and unusual perspective.
