DescriptionLet the wild rumpus start!I have a small collection of drawings from children's books illustrators. I wanted an example of a half dozen artist or so that I have fond memories of their art from my childhood and beyond. Sendak is certainly near the top of that list. Here is a piece featuring one of the Wild Things for a toy catalogue for FAO Schwarz, the famous Manhattan toy store, in 1988. This piece has been shown and toured extensively. Social/Sharing |

Loved the art on the Wild Things -in particular the rendering and fun designs, but I have to admit my all time favorite kids book artist is Dr. Seuss. I know how hard it is to get anything from these things..so huge congrats on this one!

Sendak was a master of illustrated children's literature (that can also be loved by adults). In this illustration, his creation has an almost Muppets-like appearance, and you can see how his work influenced Jim Henson, a master of children's television shows (that can also be loved by adults).

Kid psychology 101 that has evergreen appeal. Tune in next time for Heavy is the head that wears the crown or Wild Thing you make my heart sing?

Wow that is a piece of history right there. Congrats, having a Sendak is definitely a cornerstone of any illustration collection, hell any art collection.
