Abstracts

EN

In my article, I show some examples of the reinterpretation of Maurice Sendak’s childhood emotion memories which the author included in his three picturebooks referred to as the Wild Things trilogy: Where the Wild Things Are, In the Night Kitchen and Outside Over There. The analysis covers selected threads of the artist’s rich biography and their exemplifications in the artistic creation of the images and situations he experienced during his childhood (emotions, relationships with the close and distant relatives, illnesses, loneliness, aesthetic impressions, as well as the Holocaust). The recalling of the figures of the author’s memory of emotions allows a more extensive insight into the entire approach and the understanding of his works.
