The Art of Alice and Martin Provensen is the first-ever monograph on this beloved mid-century husband-and-wife illustration team.
This award-winning pair created more than 40 beloved children’s books over the span of seven decades, many of which appeared on the New York Times Best Illustrated Books of the Year lists. From early favourites for Golden Books such as The Color Kittens by Margaret Wise Brown, 1949, to their Caldecott-winning title The Glorious Flight: Across the Channel with Louis Bleriot, 1983, the
Provensens’ books inspired generations of young readers. This beautiful volume showcases hundreds of their well-known illustrations, their signature design for Kellogg’s Tony the Tiger mascot, 1952, as well as many never-before-seen paintings, ideations, travel sketchbooks, and ephemera. The Provensens’ colourful, inimitable artwork is a treasure trove for designers, illustrators, literary historians, and all who cherish classic children’s books.
