Reviews for The Art of Alice and Martin Provensen

The Art of Alice and Martin Provensen feels rescued from a fairy tale sea or an enchanted castle flooded by a spell. Its contents include never-before-seen paintings--as well as family photos, sketchbooks, memorabilia, speeches and personal appreciations that document the life and work of a couple whom you might think you don't know. But you do. Together, from the late 1940s to the late 1980s, they created more than 40 children's books. Alice and Martin Provensen lived inside a picture book as much as picture books lived inside them. The lines the artists drew are indistinguishable from the lines of the world they inhabited. --The New York Times Prolific illustrators Alice and Martin Provensen influenced generations of young readers and midcentury designers through their visual storytelling. --Publishers Weekly
