About
Why this artist matters now
Maurice Sendak was an American painter and illustrator whose densely imagined narrative works for children redefined the picture book as a vehicle for psychological complexity and visual sophistication. His ink drawings and watercolors combined expressionist draftsmanship with grotesque and fantastical imagery, most notably in Where the Wild Things Are, which established a new formal and emotional register for illustrated children's literature. His paintings merged fine art ambition with storytelling, creating works that operated simultaneously as children's entertainment and serious artistic statements.
