Cet article porte sur les manuscrits d’Edward Ardizzone : ses quatre journaux de guerre illustrés (1943-1945) conservés dans ses archives à l’Imperial War Museum de Londres, l’édition publiée de ses journaux intitulée Diary of a War Artist (1974), les aquarelles commandées par la WAAC pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, qui découlent de ses esquisses préliminaires introduites dans les pages reliées de ses journaux, et enfin les nombreuses images inédites insérées entre les pages manuscrites de ses journaux. Ses journaux représentent un riche contexte littéraire et pictural pour étudier les éléments esthétiques et transformateurs du format. Le jeu d’Ardizzone avec le format est multidimensionnel et complexe, car il utilise divers médias (crayon, plume, aquarelle, encre et lavis) et différents supports (pages de ses agendas reliés, feuilles de papier, papier millimétré, papier aquarelle) dont les dimensions varient énormément. Le format est en constante évolution dans les feuillets manuscrits de son journal ponctué de croquis. Ces dessins de guerre, qui interrompent visuellement son récit, renforcent la complexité des formats mis en jeu dans ses journaux. Enfin, les écarts qui existent entre les versions manuscrites de ses journaux et son édition publiée ajoutent une autre couche de complexité à mon étude de la manière dont le format a influencé les créations d’Ardizzone et a imposé des restrictions à sa production artistique.
