Description
"The Hat" written and illustrated by Tomi Ungerer, published by Parents Magazine Press, New York, 1970. First Edition.
Original color illustrated hard boards [some soiling and pencil written "Dene?n" on the front cover: see photos]; large format: 8.3/4" x 11.1/4"; red endpapers, name inside front cover, red pencil markings on front endpaper, unpaginated, 32 pages, all pages illustrated in color, brown pencil inscription "The End" on the last blank page, two large page corner folds, some wear, no page creases, good condition.
Jean-Thomas "Tomi" Ungerer [1931-2019] was a French artist and writer. He published over 140 books ranging from children's books to adult works and from the fantastic to the autobiographical. He was known for sharp social satire and witty aphorisms. Ungerer is also famous as a cartoonist and designer of political posters and film posters.
Ungerer received the international Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 1998 for his "lasting contribution" as a children's illustrator.
As a young man, Ungerer was inspired by the illustrations appearing in The New Yorker magazine, particularly the work of Saul Steinberg. In 1957, the year after he moved to the U.S., Harper & Row published his first children's book, "The Mellops Go Flying," and his second, "The Mellops Go Diving for Treasure"; by the early 1960s he had created at least ten children's picture books with Harper, plus a few others, and had illustrated some books by other writers. He also did illustration work for publications including 'The New York Times', 'Esquire', 'Life', 'Harper's Bazaar', 'The Village Voice', and for television during the 1960s, and began to create posters denouncing the Vietnam War.
Maurice Sendak called "Moon Man" (1966) "easily one of the best picture books in recent years." After "Allumette: A Fable", subtitled With Due Respect to Hans Christian Andersen, the Grimm Brothers, and the Honorable Ambrose Bierce in 1974, he ceased writing children's books, focusing instead on adult-level books. He eventually returned to children's literature with "Flix" in 1998.
