Yirmi Pinkus
The Noah Books project: from modern Hebrew classics to contemporary comics for children
Wed 13 March 2024
Alison Richard Building
Noah Books Publishers, founded about a decade ago by the acclaimed Israeli illustrators Rutu Modan and Yirmi Pinkus, is an experimental project that focuses on locating narrative texts from the inventory of modern Hebrew children literature and turning them into comic books for young readers. The books are created in a sort of artistic lab, in close collaboration with young illustrators, graduates of design academies. The encounter between the classics and the comics genre explores new interpretations by using contemporary visual storytelling and have been translated into English and Chinese.
Yirmi Pinkus is a novelist and illustrator. His picture book Mr. Fibber, based on stories by acclaimed Israeli poet Lea Goldberg, was awarded the Israel Museum illustration award. Pinkus is a professor of illustration at the Shenkar College of Art and Design, Tel Aviv.
