"Иллюстратора можно сравнить с режиссёром кинокартины или театральной постановки. Ему необходимо знать своих героев – их эмоции и желания; он должен поставить сцену, управляя аранжировкой и действия и драматического конфликта. Поступок каждого персонажа должен быть им пережит. Ему следует сделать декорации, подобрать костюмы и проработать световые эффекты. Его иллюстрация должна быть глубже, чем плакат, потому что он обязан заставить своих персонажей жить, дышать и реагировать друг на друга так, как задумал автор" - Пруэтт Картер (анг. Pruett Alexander Carter; 1891-1955)

"Carter went to the Los Angeles Art School and got his first job on Hearst’s New York American; he was later transferred to the Atlanta Georgian. As a step forward toward his ambition to become a magazine illustrator, Carter next became art editor for Good Housekeeping magazine, and eventually was able to assign one of the story manuscripts to himself. From then on, he worked as a freelance illustrator... Carter taught many other illustrators, some at the Grand Central School of Art in New York, others at the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles, where he headed the illustration department for several years. He was elected into the Society of Illustrators’ Hall of Fame in 1988." — © The Illustrated Gallery | Pruett A. Carter
