Watch the Children, That Subversive Is Back
Tomi Ungerer, an artist equally at home with political art, children’s books and dark erotica, returns to American bookstores. (©New York Times, 07/27/2008)
This article in the New York Times is about a children's illustrator, Tomi Ungerer, who was a contemporary of Shel Silverstein and Maurice Sendak. Apparently his work became controversial and he decided to leave the US and return to his homeland.
Now his work is becoming popular once again, and his books and artwork are becoming collectible. I think I might start browsing my neighborhood used book store!
