A new illustrated volume, "The Art of Fairy Tales" by Joanna Ebenstein, traces how fairy tale imagery has evolved across centuries of artistic reinvention, spanning medieval folklore to contemporary photography. Rather than following a chronological path, the book pairs works from distant eras — such as a 1922 fairy illustration by William Nicholson alongside a 1997 photo series by Mat Collishaw — to highlight how artists have continually reimagined magic and otherworldly figures. The collection is notable for its focus on how fairy tales have served as vehicles for social commentary, including Israeli photographer Dina Goldstein's "Fallen Princesses" series (2007–2009), which subverts Disney iconography to challenge ideals of femininity, and Spanish illustrator Ana Juan's unsettling 2022 retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, in which the wolf lurks beneath the protagonist's own skirts.
