The definitive visual tribute to the twentieth century's most revolutionary children's book creator.
While millions know Maurice Sendak as the mastermind behind Where the Wild Things Are, his sixty-year career stretched far beyond the borders of the night kitchen.
This expansive, full-color monograph pulls back the curtain on the multi-dimensional artist. With more than 200 images from the premier private collections of Justin G. Schiller and Dennis M.V. David, this volume showcases lesser-known sides of Sendak: from commercial advertisements and department store window displays to his stunning, world-class costume and set designs for opera and theater.
Edited by renowned children's literature historian Leonard S. Marcus, the collection is anchored by twelve intimate essays from friends, scholars, and collaborators like Steven Heller, Iona Opie, and Paul O. Zelinsky.
Richly illustrated with rare preliminary sketches, personal correspondence, and private artwork, this book is both a masterclass in illustration history and an irreplaceable collector's item for anyone who grew up under the spell of Sendak's wild world.
Beautifully produced and generously illustrated and published in conjunction with a major exhibition at the Society of Illustrators in New York, this is a book designed to be returned to--whether to revisit favorite images, discover details that might have been missed, or share with others.
A must-have for Sendak fans. --BookPage.com
