Two of my favourite modern retellings of fairy tales that I have found and that I find relevant for my research for this project are David Hockney and Philip Laibacher:

David Hockney
David Hockney completed a series of etchings for a recent re-print of 'Grimm's Fairy Tales.'





Philip Laibacher
Laibacher's modern retelling of the Brother's Grimm fairy tale 'The Wolf and the Seven Little Kids' graphic novel has a strict colour palette and does not contain any text. It is up to the viewer to imagine any dialogue that may be taking place. I love his modernisation of the story with the wolf being transformed into an industrial machine and the little kids' home being surrounded by intimidating modern machinery - this adds to the threatening tone of the story.
