At times reminiscent of Folk and Aborigine art as well as Matisse, inspired as well by James Audubon and Hokusai, Houck is as known for her gorgeous and elegant color as a sensibility both playful and quite serious that is uniquely her own. Among the many large public art commissions the artist has completed for interior and exterior sites in Boston and nationwide in mosaic and mural format are permanent installations for The Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Children's Hospitals in Boston and Waltham, The Frieda Garcia Park, Fort Point Channel, The Cambridge Senior Center, and 4 libraries in Broward County, Florida.

“Andersen had the ability to articulate desires petty and profound and make them into transcendent tales.”
The more work I see by Mai Miturich, the more I am impressed by his humor and childlike joy, the sophisticated spontaneity of his brush technique, and his whimsical, creative approach to page layout. Miturich (1925-2008) was one of the major Soviet children's books illustrators of the 1960s and 70s, and his numerous books were very popular among Russian children. The bright watercolors in this post belong to Poems For Children, a large collection of poems written and compiled by the famous children's book author Samuil Marshak. It was published in 1965, and won the Silver medal and the International Exhibition of Book Art in Leipzig. In 1974, the Soviet Progress Publishers issued an English-language edition with the name The Rainbow Book: Verses For Children. I am so happy with this discovery! Too bad Miturich is virtually unknown outside of Russia, and it's hard to find any other foreign editions of his books...

Arthur Rackham self-portrait Arthur Rackham (1867 – 1939) is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. Arthur Rackham's works have become very popular since his death, both in North America and Britain. His images have been widely used by the greeting card industry and many of his books are still in print or have been recently available in both paperback and hardback editions. His original drawings and paintings are keenly sought at the major international art auction houses. This is part 7 of an 8-part post on the works of Arthur Rackham. For full biographical notes see part 1.

This version originally published in 1920: 1920 Cover of Irish Fairy Tales Title page "My life became a ceaseless scurry and wound and escape, a burden and anguish of watchfulness" "Wild and shy and monstrous creatures ranged in her plains and forests" "A man who did not like dogs. In fact, he hated them. When he saw one he used to go black in the face, and he threw rocks at it until it got out of sight" "How he strained and panted to catch on that pursuing person and pursue her and get his own switch into action" "In forked glen into which he slipped at night fall he was surrounded by giant toads" "She looked with angry woe at the straining and snarling horde below" "The banqueting hall was in tumult" "The door of Fionn's chamber opened gently and a young woman came into the room" "The Hag of the Mill was a bony, thin pole of a hag with odd feet" "They stood outside, filled with savagery and terror" "The thumping of his big boots grew as continuous as the pattering of hail-stones on a roof, and the wind of his passage blew trees down" "The waves of all the worlds seemed to whirl past them in one huge green cataract" "They offered a cow for each leg of her cow, but she would not accept that offer unless Fiachna went bail for the payment" The Sleeping Beauty told by Charles Seddon Evans. The Sleeping Beauty by Charles Perrault or Little Briar Rose by the Brothers Grimm is a classic fairy-tale involving a beautiful princess, enchantment of sleep, and a handsome prince. Written as an original literary tale, it was first published by Charles Perrault in Histoires ou contes du temps passé in 1697.
