Having won a number of national and international prizes, their books reach wide audiences, promoting a decolonization of images. Just like Modernist artists, Lago, Mello and Vilela keep pushing the borders of accepted conventions, at the same time attracting and challenging the readers. This research identifies three stages in this developing process and chooses one author from each stage, namely Angela Lago, Roger Mello and Fernando Vilela, picking one work from each of them for a detailed semiotic analysis. This process keeps great affinity with that of Anthropophagy, as became known the Brazilian response to European Avant-garde, and which can be understood in a postcolonial modernity frame. Besides improving technical skills, Brazilian illustrators have promoted an intense dialogue between local and global references, resulting in works that challenge the accepted conventions. Mostly from 1970 onwards, Brazilian picturebooks have been progressively gaining artistic quality, in a maturing process that culminated in the awarding of the Hans Christian Andersen prize to Roger Mello in 2014.
