Pieter Bruegel the Elder lived in 16th century Antwerp, as an artist he reflected the society in which he inhabited in his peculiar - even surreal - style. Emulating Bruegel's crowded, chaotic illustrative style Australian political cartoonist Samuel McNair has produced After Bruegel as a monograph in homage to the Dutch master. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter Bruegel does not tell the reader any particular narrative; instead it invites the reader to find meaning through examination. The picture book urges the reader to engage their visual literacy, their ability to connect thoughts, images and language. No two readers will find the same experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded in After Bruegel are lists of proverbs, puns and idioms for the reader to find throughout the book, much in the same way as did Bruegel's \u003cem\u003eNederlandse Spreekwoorden\u003c\/em\u003e (Netherlandish Proverbs) 1559.
