Abstract

A new Movement (Moj-e Nou) came into being in Iran in 1341 with the collection of poems "Tarh" by AhmadReza Ahmadi. This movement,was a transcendence of the patriarchal domination of symbolism and romanticism and structuralism in Nimai poetry, and a tendency towards a kind of surrealist and deconstructive view of the phenomena of existence and humanity. The transformation of poetry into a simple and fluent prose, the extensive use of imagination, visualization to give objectivity to poetic realities and the achievement of pure and rare images are the most important features of Moj-eno poetry. None of this movwment images do not seek to prove anything, but are themselves a new and unique event. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of this movement poetry on children's book illustration in Iran, to achieve a new image structure and illustrators' approach to children's book illustration. Accordingly, the present study seeks to answer the question: What is the trend of the new Movement and its influential components on the style of children's book illustration in Iran? What is the relationship between text and image in the illustration of New Movement poetry books? The method of the present research is descriptive-analytical. The research community includes ten stories from Ahmad Reza Ahmadi's children's poem, illustrated under the title "Rang-e Eshgh Collection". It is also a method of analyzing qualitative effects. The findings show that the flow of this movement in contemporary poetry and, consequently, its effect on deconstruction in the illustration of children's books became a dominant trend; So that from the eighties onwards, we are witnessing the artistic emergence of works that have removed the border of fantasy and reality in fictional images.
