Description
Edward Ardizzone: Artist and Illustrator is a comprehensive survey of the work of a British artist and illustrator who defined the field of illustration for his generation. The book provides a fully illustrated analysis of Ardizzone's activity as an artist and illustrator in the context of 20th-century British art, illustration, printing and publishing. Copiously illustrated with many previously unpublished images, this book offers a unique insight into Ardizzone's life and work. Alan Powers, author of Eric Ravilious: Artist and Designer, has written a critically considered text that draws on the artist's family archives, publishers' records, and conversations with those who knew him. The result is a beautifully designed and enlightening book that will be of interest to both specialists and readers who have grown up with Ardizzone's iconic children's stories.
