Description The dissertation The Search for Meaning in Artistic Narrative Illustration maps and illuminates the means via which artistic illustration is capable of expressing the meaning of the narrative text. The aim is to analyze the processes through which literary elements are adapted into artistic form. The description of the process of adaptation is based on analysis of both semantic properties of text and the images' visual layout (those which analogically predetermine how the illustrations are read). Within the dissertation key arguments from the field of aesthetics, intermedia studies, the arts disciplines and psychology are reflected. Selected chapters are supplemented with an autopsy of the author's own work, he himself being an illustrator of adventure books and scientific texts.
