In diesem Band ihrer cleveren Piktogramm-Reihe nimmt sich Grafikerin Yang Liu eines der heikelsten und ältesten Themen der Menschheit an: dem Verhältnis der Geschlechter – zwischen Mann und Frau, Yang und Yin, Adam und Eva, Mars und Venus, ihm und ihr. Sie meinen, das kennen Sie alles schon? Nicht so, wie Yang Liu es darstellt. Aus eigenen Erfahrungen und mit großer Akribie durchgeführten Beobachtungen schöpfend , findet Yang Liu für das traditionell mit Fettnäpfchen übersäte Feld der Genderfragen eine eingängige und prägnante Bildersprache. Scheinbar schlicht und plakativ, beschwören ihre Entwürfe doch unendlich viele Assoziationen herauf. Durch das augenzwinkernde Übertragen von uralten Stereotypen auf aktuelle Situationen erlaubt uns die Künstlerin einen völlig neuen Blick auf das Verhältnis von Mann und Frau.

Combining minimal infographics with incisive and touching observations about human nature, the crisp pictorials draw upon Liu’s Chinese heritage; as in traditional calligraphy, the simpler the depiction, the deeper-seated the truth that is expressed.With graphic precision, Big meets Little takes on the daily happenings of a family home by visually pairing the perspectives of grown-ups and our tiny counterparts. Simultaneously humorous and honest, Liu distills the parenting narrative into bite-sized, insightful lessons. Over 128 pages, the clothbound volume cleverly contrasts the reality of parenthood with the glossy family portraits we’re often sold—though not without a dose of tongue-in-cheek humor.
