William Steig
"The Steig Album," a comprehensive collection of seven early William Steig books bound in a hardcover format. Published in 1953 by Duell Sloan and Pearce. Shows early work of the children’s book creator. The cartoons have a sometimes dark psychological flavor in addition to humor. A very influential cartoonist who contributed countless covers to The New Yorker. His early work is similar to (or influenced?) Syd Hoff but later develops into a looser, more scribbly and experimental line possibly influenced by Picasso? Turned to kids books later in life only to become one of the best children’s books creators of all time with creations such as Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, Shrek and Abel’s Island.
