Sažetak
The picturebook often explores its borderlines and establishes connections with other media and arts, most obviously, but not exclusively, with fine arts, literature, drama, and comics. This paper explores its connections with music and establishes four kinds of relationship. Two are textual: picturebooks visually represent music through abstract images, or by depictions of musical scores or musical notes, for instance. Another kind of textual relationship is sharing common features. Nathalie op de Beeck claims that picturebook creators “orchestrate visual-verbal sequences in a way often related to musical performance and improvisation” (2018: 20). Employing rhythm as an important element of both music and picturebook discourses is the most common strategy. Rhythmical verbal expression easily creates links with music (Fleta 2017). Visual discourses establish narrative rhythm by organising visual sequences, which is particularly exposed in wordless picturebooks (Palmer 2016). The opposed narrative rhythms of the visual and the verbal discourse may create a dynamic combination, as in Rosie’s Walk by Pat Hutchins (Narančić Kovač 2015). The third kind of the relationship is peritextual, when picturebooks incorporate sound-producing extensions, such as buttons for special sound effects or music (Veryeri Alaca 2018). The fourth kind of the relationship between picturebooks and music is epitextual, in intermedial translation. The process can move in both directions, either from music towards a picturebook, or the other way round. The former happens when a picturebook is preceded and inspired by music or a song. The picturebook What Does the Fox Say? by Ylvis, Christian Løchstøer and Svein Nyhus is a case in point. The latter happens when a picturebook inspires a musical piece, for example Julian Nott’s music for the animated film I See a Song, based on the picturebook by Eric Carle, directed by Andrew Goff. The results once more accentuate the flexibility and huge potential of the picturebook as an art form.
