Antonio Frasconi I

The first of a number of posts on Antonio Frasconi (1919-2013) an incredible graphic designer and illustrator who specialised in woodcuts. Antonio Frasconi was a Uruguayan - American visual artist, best known for his woodcuts. He was raised in Montevideo, Uruguay, and moved to New York in 1945 to pursue his dream of becoming an artist. 

He soon became recognised as one of the most innovative illustrators of his time, known for intricate woodcuts and  powerful social commentary.

'See and Say' by Antonio Frasconi, published  April 1972, published by Harcourt.

Jan B Balet IV

'Bean Blossom Hill' by Martha Bennett King and Illustrated by Jan B. Balet, published in 1957. Not my favourite from these two creatives but I do love these models that were included in the back of this series of books. 

Jan B Balet III

Papa Pompino' written by Martha Bennett King, illustrated in clean graphic images by Jan Balet. Published in 1959.

Judy Varga II

A special treat for bonfire night is 'The dragon who liked to spit fire', by Judy Varga,  published in 1961 by Morrow. This lovely book is published in two colours purple and orange which zing across the pages, an absolute delight.
