Rber – album, Antolgia / Anthology in EnglishIllusztrtor: Rber LszlISBN: 9789633466483 / 978-9633466483Mret: B/5 Printed in Hungary Language: English 112 PagesLszl Rber’s name has been linked to the name of a popular writer for generations. In the course of time hundreds of thousands or even millions have grown fond of the young boy who looks up to adults dutifully yet seems to observe them from above, and just as many people have learnt that they should appreciate the grown-ups’ dull words of wisdom, platitudes, aggressive intrusions into their development and attempts to put an end to the eternal frankness of childhood. But the well-known boy in shorts of va Janikovszky’s books was only a small part of the career of Lszl Rber, who died at the age of 81. He was a draughtsman who, with very simple lines, expressed everything that others need colours, shades and forms for. A kind of humour always showed through his drawings that made one smile gently. The title of a book of the once widely popular Chinese writer could be used to describe it: A Wise Smile.OverviewThis album is a tribute to Lszl Rber, a renowned Hungarian draughtsman, caricaturist, animation film-maker, artist, and illustrator.

In the course of time hundreds of thousands or even millions have grown fond of the young boy who looks up to adults dutifully yet seems to observe them from above, and just as many people have learnt that they should appreciate the grown-ups dull words of wisdom, platitudes, aggressive intrusions into their development and attempts to put an end to the eternal frankness of childhood. But the well-known boy in shorts of Eva Janikovszky’s books was only a small part of the career of Lszl Rber, who died at the age of 81. He was a draughtsman who, with very simple lines, expressed everything that others need colours, shades and forms fine. A kind of humour always showed through his drawings that made one smile gently.

In the epic days of Hungarian animation film Lszl Rber became one of the pioneers. He worked for the satirical weekly Ludas Matyi that was revamped after 156, and he was one of the first to publish a album of caricatures in the heyday of the gente in Europe. These drawings were also published with English and German captions, and the books he illustrated were translated into many languages. He lived and worked low profile for “high” culture, and was the kind of person who is seldom sought out by official – as opposed to professional – awards and medals. In this anthology G&aac
