The East of the Sun and West of the Moon
Kay Nielsen (1886-1957), Danish illustrator.
This artist is known to have been hired in 1939 by Disney, in order to carry out studies as part of the future film projects of the firm, and will remain, in the end, a short time in this job, judging it in all the extent of his career.
The essence of his work consists in an important quantity of illustrations of tales or collections, in the first half of the twentieth century, in what will be called the Golden Age of illustration.
His style, characteristic of Art Nouveau, is recognizable among all, with its impacting strong black backgrounds and elegant and graceful characters.

Also similar to this, but does anyone have any reading recs on isolation, loneliness and paranoia that stems from it? Anything similar to how isolation breeds a rather burdening imagination, paranoia, further distance. Fiction, non fiction, articles, essays, poems; I'll take anything
I was listening to the audiobook of The Secret History and realised something: Lafourge says that Richard would be isolated from everyone from the campus once he joins Julian's class, which Richard dismisses. Despite him going to college parties and being acquaintances with Judy, he truly has no one but the classics group. This becomes incredibly evident in the winter he spends in Hampden, having no one to go to for shelter—the result of him choosing to be with the greek class. His isolation takes form of the cold he endured during that time because there is no one he can go to. In the end, it is Henry who saves him, pulling him back into the caverns of the group, and his alienation.
