by: Alan Horne
Most of the great British artists of the 20th century have at some time
contributed illustrations for books - Stanley Spencer, Paul Nash, John
Piper and David Hockney to name but a few. In addition there is a strong

for example - whose talents complemented a wide variety of texts. The
range of subject matter is enormous - from children's literature to war
art, the humorous to the world of fantasy. A lengthy overview of the subject
examines the revival of wood engraving, commercial art, book jackets,
and children's book illustrations. Each dictionary entry consists of brief
biographical details, followed by details of education (especially art
schools attended), career and influences. For further reference, notes
give titles, dates and publishers of books illustrated, exhibitions held,
collections, and bibliographies. 456 pgs.
