Maurice Sendak ranks as one of the best known and loved children's book artists in the USA, and has been awarded both the Hans Christian Andersen Medal and the Caldecott Medal.

Description:
New York: Harry N. Abrams, Inc., Publishers, 2003. Hardcover. Good Plus/Fine. The work of Sendak as a children's book artist has been known around the world since his Caldecott winning "Where The Wild Things Are" in 1963. Less well-known is Sendak's work for adults, a kind of second career, in set and costume design for opera and other theatrical and dance productions, as well as work on posters, CD covers, book jackets and adult books, particulary since 1980. This volume, with text by playwright Tony Kushner, Sendak's longtime friend, chronicles and provides insight on this second career. First edition, first printing (with complete numberline). Oversize, about 11 3/4 x 11 inches, bound in dark-blue cloth-covered boards with gold lettering on spine. Dustjacket's front and back panels show finished watercolor designs from "The Magic Flute;" dj's flaps show prop and costume designs. Book is lavishly illustrated with Sendak's work, in full color and black… Read More
