The Art of Tasha Tudor: A Retrospective Book

Author-illustrator Tasha Tudor is one of America's most recognized and beloved artists. Her many classic children's books--Pumpkin Moonshine, 1 Is One, and Corgiville Fair to name a few--have virtually raised generations of children, and all signs point to their continued popularity for generations to come. In The Art of Tasha Tudor, the artist's longtime business partner and friend, Harry Davis, presents a remarkable retrospective of her life and work, featuring 150 of her finest drawings and paintings, from books, fashion designs, holiday cards, and her personal sketchbooks. The beautiful tribute is not without controversy, however, if only in that Davis and Tudor apparently parted company on not the best of terms. However, for the innumerable devotees of Tasha Tudor's extraordinary lifestyle and art, the book is indeed a comprehensive treasure. Tracing Tudor's life from early years with her family through some difficult periods with her husband and children to the present, Davis includes many amusing, poignant, and cutting anecdotes that could only come from an intimate acquaintance. Throughout, of course, are Tudor's exquisite illustrations of small critters and adorable children, most often set against a rustic New England backdrop. (All ages) --Emilie CoulterRead More

  • Product Description

    With more than 150 paintings and drawings reproduced in brilliant full color, this retrospective look at Tasha Tudor's art is the culmination of Harry Davis's work of a decade, recording the observations and compiling the art of the renowned author and illustrator. The book combines well-known images, with lesser-known illustrations. Included are Tasha's fashion designs for Pierre Deux, portraits of animals and of family, holiday cards, including those for Christmas and Valentine's Day, and samples from her personal sketchbooks. Drawing from more than 10,000 pieces that Tudor has produced over her long career, Davis has chosen the most representative examples of Tasha Tudor's art, which he illuminates in his accompanying text.
