The books by Astrid Lindgren which Ingrid Vang Nyman has illustrated are Kajsa Kavat, the chapter books about the Noisy Village children and all the books about Pippi Longstocking. She was conversant with the latest printing techniques and took advantage of them by separating the colours herself to achieve the desired result. She used distinctive colour fields, carefully chosen nuances, distinct ink contours and a few impacting details to set the scene and create atmosphere. Pippi was named by Lindgren's daughter Karin, who asked her mother for a get-well story when she was off school. The artistic awareness in her illustrations is tremendous, as is the technical precision. Pippi Longstocking ( Swedish: Pippi Lngstrump) is the fictional main character in an eponymous series of children's books by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren. The years between 19 were a time of almost manic activity, and just about all of her most important illustrations were created during that period. Her somewhat unrealistically high financial demands caused friction between her and the publisher at times. She demanded that illustrations for children should be of the same high artistic quality as for adults. She took her work as an illustrator very seriously, worked very fast and had a high level of ambition. As a nineteen year-old she began studying at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, but she did not enjoy being there, so she left her studies after a couple of years. She wrote more than 30 books for children, and is best know for creating Pippi Longstocking, a book that has been translated into more. Ingrid Vang was born in 1916 in Vejen in southern Jylland, in Denmark. Astrid Lindgren is one of Sweden’s most famous authors. Ingrid Vang Nyman’s pictures of Pippi Longstocking have become classics and have been enjoyed in many countries.
