Exhibition Illustration and Book Design in the Picture Book Museum Troisdorf

An exhibition in cooperation with Professor Henriette Sauvant and students from Trier University of Applied Sciences

On the occasion of the 13th workshop of the Illustration Foundation, students of the Design Campus are exhibiting their work on the theme "Classics made new! The students' task, under the direction of Prof. Sauvant, was to explore the question of how illustrations can be used to reinterpret classical texts. First, they created drafts, studies and sketches for texts such as The Panther by Rainer Maria Rilke, The Erlking by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe or Krabat by Otfried Preußler. This was followed by the illustrations, whereby the creative realisation was left to the students' discretion.

The students' works will be on display in the Picture Book Museum of the City of Troisdorf from 2 September to 23 October 2022. In terms of content, they are part of the workshop of the Illustration Foundation, which was held under the eponymous title "Classics made new!" from 2 to 3 September 2022 at the Picture Book Museum.

Henriette Sauvant spoke at the workshop on behalf of all the exhibitors with Katja Gerischer, who presented her Erlkönig, and Jessica Frascht, who reported on her Panther.
