Brief introduction of the author
Marcia Brown (19 18) was born in a pastor's family in new york, USA. Because her father is a priest, she has moved around this state with her family since she was a child. Every time she moves, she has to go to the community library to get a library card before she can settle down and go home to sort things out.
Since she was a child, she likes reading, painting and handcraft. /kloc-When she was 0/2 years old, her father painted the kitchen wall black and asked her to draw on the blackboard. Martha often paints for hours. At this time, she buried a wish in her heart-I hope I can become an illustrator in the future. However, due to her ordinary family background and the Great Depression in the United States, she had to study English and drama with her sisters in new york Normal School, and worked as a teacher in a high school for three years after graduation. Later, he came to the New York Public Library as a story lecturer. She not only tells stories in museums, but also often goes into the community to tell stories from all over the world to children all over the world. She has also been in constant contact with famous American and international children's literature and illustrations, and these experiences have had a far-reaching impact on her future picture book creation.
1946, she published her first novel, Little Carousel. A lonely boy heard the sound of a merry-go-round near his home and started an adventure. Brown vividly describes a bustling community in Greenwich in his book.
"Stone Soup" published by 1947 made her a blockbuster, and this book also won her the first Cadillac Silver Award. This book is also the beginning of her early works about traditional folk stories.
Marcia brown spent most of his time at the University of Albany, leaving a lot of valuable information. 1In the autumn of 993, she moved to Laguna Mountain in California on the west coast. 1994, Brown donated 10000 dollars to organize, catalog and preserve her papers.
2065438+ She died on April 28th, 2005 at her home in Laguna Hills, California, at the age of 96.
Style and concept
_ Although Mathea has no children, she has been working for them. From telling stories to creating picture books.
_ She loves traveling all her life and has traveled all over Europe, Asia and Africa. Wherever I go, I will stay for a long time and carefully experience and taste the local folk customs. For example, she likes Italy so much that she created opportunities to live in Italy for four years. If I like France, I will live in France for a while and learn to play the flute in the orchestra of Paris Conservatory of Music. 1985, at the age of 67, she is still studying China's ink painting in Hangzhou Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts.
Folk stories are the inheritors of different cultures.
"It is the legacy of childhood to teach children the wisdom contained in folk stories, so that they can get a sense of life", "It is their right and our pleasure to pass these truths on to children and let them be fully expressed". -Mathea Brown.
Marcia found that folk stories have a unique attraction for children. She likes to tell children old folk stories and draw them. She adapted a large number of folk stories and fairy tales. She believes that stories can help children shape their character and pictures can help them remember. Folk stories and fairy tales can clearly reveal real life and persist in our hearts with both dreams and reality.
Cat in Boots and Cinderella are adapted from Perot's fairy tales, The Firm Tin Soldier is adapted from Andersen's fairy tales, Three Goats is a Norwegian folk story, Once upon a time there was a mouse is adapted from an ancient Indian fable, and Shadow is a French prose poem by BlaiseCendrars, which highlights the artistic characteristics of Africa by collage.
A changeable style
She has been committed to using different technologies and media materials to express different times, create different atmospheres, and highlight the texture of different cultures in the East and the West.
She thinks the role of illustration is to express the content of the story. In order to echo the different themes and backgrounds of each book, she will try different media and styles, such as gouache, watercolor, crayons, pens, woodcut and collage, such as woodcut prints to the ancient Indian fable Once upon a time there was a mouse; Silhouettes and collages are stories of African tribes, such as shadows. Three Goats reflects the charm of Norwegian folk stories and the artistic style of northern Europe through a large number of crayons, Dick Whittington and his cat uses marijuana prints, and so on.
In order to complete these picture books with different styles, she traveled all over the world to collect information; Studied oil painting, printmaking and China ink painting; Learn folk literature theory and children's psychology works. When she won the first Cadillac Award, she used the money to live in Italy for a year and a half. The money was only used to experience the life and culture there, draw pictures and visit art galleries.
She once said, "The atmosphere of a book is very important. If the book tells a traditional story, but it is accompanied by a picture style that is completely out of touch with the background of the times, it is naturally very wrong. The creator should think of the young readers, and the children don't understand that era, so the clothes painted by the painter should express the taste at that time even if they can't be detailed. "
Someone once asked her curiously why she had to change her painting style every time she met a different work. Marcia B. Brown's answer is "wake up the dreamer in one word". She said, "because I can't stand eating the same thing every day!" "
Author's word
_ Mathea said that she hopes that her work can be done: like a beautiful seed, the roots of art are buried in the hearts of children; Just like an innovative song, all kinds of changes come from the ancient theme. Almost every book of hers is a classic inheritance.
_ She said, "Introducing a picture book to others is like introducing a friend to others."
_ "The freshness of a picture depends on the strength of expression, not the freshness of the media. In order not to bring the ideas and skills injected from the last book into the next book, I always create new books every once in a while, either painting or traveling to absorb new feelings and pave the way for the creation of the next book. "
Background knowledge-about painting style, teacher
During her time as a librarian in the Children's Library of New York Public Library, the three famous painters she studied all had different majors. For example, StuartDavis's oil paintings are deeply influenced by cubism and attach importance to the relationship between color and form, while Japanese YasuoKuniyoshi is good at many media and likes to depict all kinds of characters with free lines and simple forms. As for LouisShanker, he tried to abstract the theme with woodcuts. The three teachers in Mathea have completely different styles. From them, she seems to have learned not only various skills, but also various image styles and unique expressions of print media. The different painting skills she learned from these artists also laid the foundation for her diverse styles in picture book creation in the future.
Background Knowledge —— The Creative Experience of marcia brown's Picture Books
Marcia brown once wrote a book called Lotus Seeds: Children, Pictures and Books (1985) based on his experience in creating picture books. Seven symbols are used in the book to describe the process of art and creation. These seven symbols are seeds, songs, dances, crackles, gifts, unchangeable patterns and gold medals.
She explained that "seed" means that art has planted a good seed in children's hearts, which will grow up and bear fruit in the future.
And "song" symbolizes a creative life, and her books, like songs, have derived various changes from the main theme.
"Dance" is a metaphor for artists to express the beauty, pain, fear and joy of life through their own works, just like dancers express it with their limbs. The source of creation lies in the artist's conviction that life contains infinite treasures.
"Cracking sound" is an inspiration that the artist suddenly captures and transforms into a picture.
"Gift" represents the artist's contribution and shows his heart to the audience. Artistic spirit can help children grow up, regardless of social class, color or race.
"Constant pattern" means that ancient legends and fairy tales often contain fixed patterns, which provide us with endless imagination, let us know our fears and the shadow of the world, and set an example for us to learn.
The "gold medal" represents not the affirmation of the outside world, but a medal made of gold extracted from the artist's heart.

Introduction of works
1, Stone Soup 1948 Cadillac Silver Award. Folk stories, love and sharing
Content:
Three soldiers were walking wearily on a strange country road. They are on their way home from the battlefield. They are tired and hungry. In fact, they haven't eaten for two days.
When three soldiers approached a village, the villagers began to get busy. They know that soldiers are usually hungry, so every household collects all edible things, such as hiding barley in the attic, sinking milk buckets into wells and hanging meat in the cellar. The soldiers went door to door begging for food, hoping to live in the attic, but the villagers said they had nothing to eat and no place to live, and the whole village tried to pretend to be hungry. This is a battle of wits.
The hungry soldiers were forced to set a trap. They announced to the villagers that they would make a pot of soup with stones. Curious villagers prepared firewood and cauldrons for them, and the soldiers really began to make soup with three big boulders! Of course, in order to make the soup more delicious, they need a little seasoning, such as salt and pepper. Of course, a little carrot is better, and cabbage, potatoes and beef are also good. If you add some barley and milk, even the king can drink a pot of magical stone soup and really cook it!
Tip: We are familiar with Joan Mutt's version of Stone Soup, which will be introduced later.
2. Fisherman Henry 1950 Cadillac Silver Award. Life, growth, nature
Beautiful island, real life, a little boy's growth ceremony, quiet and beautiful. Dedicated to every growing child.
Content: Henry is an American boy who lives on the island of St. Thomas, which is bathed in the blue waters of the Caribbean. Henry wants to be a fisherman most. No matter what he does, Henry always thinks about his father's boat-Ariadne; He thinks that one day, he can sail out to sea and sail. The important day finally arrived, and Henry's first fishing trip began. He has experienced many adventures that children have never experienced. Later, as his mother said, Henry became a "real fisherman". Henry's story contains the dialect on the island and the real feelings of fishermen's life. Everything is so warm and moving.
_ Many of her books are inspired by her travels abroad. She spent two summers in St. Thomas. She sketched on the island, made friends with the children, and got a beautiful picture of Henry and his daily life.
3. Dick Whittington and His Cat 195 1 Cadillac Silver Award Folk Stories, Philosophy, Personality (Diligence, Kindness, Hard Work)
_ Success requires luck and more efforts; Let children see "the power of persistence".
Content: Long ago, there was a little boy named Dick Whittington in England. When he was very young, his parents died and he had to live on the relief of the villagers. Later, he went to London with his dream of gold rush and a coachman. But contrary to expectations, when he arrived in London, he had no place to live and eat, especially regretting leaving his hometown. However, God never shuts one door but he opens another. After many twists and turns, a wealthy businessman named Fitzwarren took him in and asked him to help the chef. Although he has a fixed job and residence, he has to endure the beating and scolding of the grumpy chef during the day and the rats running around his bed at night. One day, Dick got a penny for shoeshine. He bought a cat with this penny, hoping to use it to drive away mice and have a good sleep. Unexpectedly, this cat completely changed Dick's life, from a poor boy to a rich man, and finally became the mayor of London.
Whittington is very lucky.
Whittington is pragmatic, diligent and grateful.
Success is sometimes accidental and requires luck, but ultimately depends on the excellent quality of yourself and the people around you. Success requires luck and hard work; Full of yearning for a better life, no matter how hard life is, don't give up your ideals. The road to success is full of bumps. Only those who persist in not giving up can truly succeed, embrace their dreams, persevere and be accompanied by good luck. Sometimes we just lack the will to "persist a little more" and let children see the power of persistence.
4. Captain John's Cook 1952 Cadillac is silver, and there is no Chinese version.
5. Cat in Boots 1953 Cadillac Silver Award
_ French classic fairy tales that have been circulating for 300 years. A clever cat has won a beautiful new life for her master and herself with her wisdom!
Content: The miller left his only property to his three sons before he died, but the youngest son only got a cat in boots. The cat's name is Booth. Legend has it that this cat is very clever and has a pair of "magic" boots. The youngest son is very kind and has a crush on the princess for a long time. Because the king and queen are also mercenary people, it is impossible to marry the princess to him who was born in poverty. So the younger son has been laughed at by his two brothers. One day, the princess went out in disguise and met her little son while singing in a pub. They also have a good impression on each other. Kind Booth couldn't bear to let his master miss his love, so he designed to package his youngest son as an earl to get close to the king. However, there are many difficulties on the road to love, and there are also design traps for cannibals and wizards, but the youngest son finally won the princess by virtue of his honesty and kindness and the magic of the cat stall. And the god cat booth has also become a new soldier.
Cat in Boots has a bizarre plot and a concise and vivid language. Fairy tales are mainly for children, and they need fascinating storylines to impress and attract them. In Charles perrot's fairy tales, rich imagination is often used, and at the same time, the story is fabricated reasonably, not stiffly and far-fetched. Cat in Boots wrote that a cat met a demon, and the demon changed, and finally became a mouse, which was eaten by the cat. The author's imagination is obviously based on life. Because in reality, cats eat mice.
There are several versions of this book, and the work of the same name also won the Silver Award of 199 1 Cadillac, translated by Malcolm Arthur (USA)/Fred marcelino (USA), and Peng. ※.
20 1 1, DreamWorks was adapted into an animated film.
6. The company Tin Soldier 1954 Cadillac Silver Award.
_ Adapted from Andersen's fairy tales, the beauty and cruelty in fairy tales.
Content: When a solid tin soldier was cast, he lost a leg. The little monster in the snuff bottle was jealous just because he was dissatisfied with the tin soldier staring at the beautiful paper dancer, so he did strange things everywhere and let the tin soldier fall to the ground from the third floor. The naughty boy put him on a paper boat and went down the river along the ditch, making him bump all the way in rapids and heavy rains and almost capsized. The rat in the dark sewer begrudgingly asked him for the fare. At the end of the sewer is a wide canal, but it is not the end of bad luck. Before jumping into the rushing water, the tin soldier's ear rang with such words: "Go, go, you soldier, today is the day of your sacrifice!" " "Underwater, he was unfortunately swallowed by a big fish. However, when he returned to his original owner's house with the hunted big fish and saw his beloved dancer again, he was thrown into the stove by a child. A gust of wind blew the tin soldier's beloved dancer into the melting pot. The next day, the maid found a small tin heart and a shining rose from the ashes.
Children like it, first of all, because it is the adventure story of Tin Soldier and his love for young dancers. For adults, they can appreciate the cruelty expressed by the author in real life.
Marcia Brown poured a lot of emotion into the illustrations of this story. The warm blue-purple background creates another world, full of spirituality, strength and vitality.
7. Cinderella 1955 Cadillac Gold Award. Adapted from Perot's fairy tales
_ The story inherits the essence of Charles perrot, the founder of fairy tales, and perfectly interprets the eternal magic of classic fairy tales with unique painting style and relaxed and elegant language.
Content: Few stories are as popular as Cinderella. Almost every country in the world has a version, but people like the French version of Charlie Perot best. This translation is very suitable for telling stories and reading aloud. Marcia Brown's illustrations are charming and full of magic, from the little Cupid put back the clock to the last palace scene. These paintings will remain in the memory of children.
8. Once upon a time there was a mouse 1962 Cadic Gold Award,
_ Adapting ancient Indian fables, guiding children to think about strength, eternity and change, and cultivating children's gratitude and humility.
Content: "Who dares to say that this king used to be a little mouse, I will eat him!" " "A big tiger roared. However, a hermit with superb magical skills is very disdainful of this. Because he turned a little mouse into a big cat, then into a dog, and finally into this majestic and self-righteous tiger.
Inspired by the Five Classics of India, the story guides children to think about the inextricable relationship between "strength" and "weakness", "arrogance", "inferiority", "constancy" and "change", and it is a fable shining with wisdom.
In order to reproduce the charm of oriental fables, Brown adopted the method of woodcut printing. Brown-green, khaki and pomegranate red are matched, and the natural and rich wood texture adds an ancient and classic charm to the story. White hollowed-out, woodcut hard lines have the feeling of paper-cutting, powerful and dynamic.
9. Shadow 1983 Kadijin. Light and shadow game, a legend related to life
Content: Under the fire, moonlight and light, as long as there is light, there is a shadow, and as long as there is fire, there is a shadow. The shadow kept jumping, like a living elf. In ancient African culture and oral literature, shadows do have life and stories of their own.
Mathea Brown was translated from a poem of the same name by the French poet Bryce Cendrars. She uses silhouette and collage to show the image of shadow, and uses mellow dark color as the keynote to show the story beside the forest fire in Africa. The image is vivid and profound, reaching the extreme of expressiveness.
10, "Three goats croak"-learn to be smart and brave
Content: A simple story, a common triple repetition in folk stories, brings three thrilling experiences to young readers. There are three goats named "Gala Gala" who want to eat fatter on the grassland in the mountains. However, there is a bridge between the valleys, and a terrible monster lives under it. Both "Little Goat" and "Middle Goat" say that a fatter goat will come soon. So the monster let them go. Finally, the "big goat" came, and he beat the monster out of the water angrily. Then I took two other goats on the grassland, so full that I was too fat to walk back! This is a Norwegian oral fairy tale. Its language is concise and powerful, and its paintings have unique spirit and shocking effect. After the dramatic tension, the happy ending made the children as satisfied as Gala Gala!
