In the case of We Are Water Protectors, Goade’s illustrations immerse readers in the reality - physical and emotional - of our interconnectedness and our dependence on water. Often a book’s illustrations add to, play with, or stretch the meaning of the book’s text. And what important messages our society needs to hear right now. If there are two main takeaways from this book’s powerful text, those might be the ones. I instantly fell in love with the artist’s striking work, but seeing this one image was only the tip of the iceberg for me. Before I ever saw the book, I saw an illustration from one of its pages - the image of a determined young girl, used for one of Kweli's conferences. It stands out among the books published this year for its importance in our shared culture and for its elegant beauty. I simply cannot get enough of We Are Water Protectors.

This annual exhibition in Paris showcased mystical Symbolist art, particularly a hermetic, numinous vein of Symbolism that was favoured by Péladan and dominant during the 1890s, a time when religious and occult practices often intertwined. He moved to Paris in 1890, where he became involved within Symbolist circles, winning favour as an illustrator of mystical religious themes, such as his poster for the first Salon de la Rose+Croix in 1892. Carlos Schwabe was born in Germany in 1866 and raised in Geneva, Switzerland, receiving his artistic training at the École des Arts Décoratifs. |
