Kjell Ringi III

The Magic Stick (1968) by Kjell Ringi shows the imagination of a young boy who has found a stick, and what, in his mind's eye, that stick allows him to do. A beautiful concept where the ordinary day of the boy is rendered in line and then his imagination is in full colour across the page.

Kjell Ringi II

Of the Kjell Ringi books that I can find, the main characters always appear to have this pop art style moustache. In this book the illustrations have character focus with lots of  uncluttered space on the page and have the drawing quality of wax crayon. The exchange between characters also takes place across the divide of the gutter on double page spreads and the book is wordless except for an explanation at the start.
These illustrations are from 'The Winner' published in 1968.

Thinking about wordless books, took me back to the wonderful illustration work of Korean artist Suzy Lee. Above from top to bottom are illustrations from Shadow, The Zoo and Wave.
