pickI feel like the introduction beautifully summarized many of the reasons his children's book art has struck me as an adult.
Bio by Eric Carle, especially about his time in Germany covering WW2, the many sides of Germany, the heartbreak of war experienced by civilians and soldiers, no matter where they live.
The magic of a young artistically inclined person being encouraged by those around them. 1/?
To think, all this colour and life was lurking in ads before it found its way to children's books.
When the art just grabs you...the colours, the pose, the facial expression, how big the candle is in proportion to the person. Feels Warm.
pickI always love this books! It‘s so interesting to read about the artists behind all the brilliant Disney works - sometimes also sad to read that some had quite tragic lifes. And I‘m all here for sketches and early ideas- this books are just the best 5/5⭐️
