The Art of Alice and Martin Provensen is the first-ever monograph on this beloved midcentury husband-and-wife illustration team. This award-winning pair created more than 40 beloved children's books over the span of seven decades. From early favorites for Golden Books such as The Color Kittens by Margaret Wise Brown to their Caldecott-winning title The Glorious Flight: Across the Channel with Louis Bleriot, the Provensens' books inspired generations of young readers. Original paintings for their beloved classics such as A Child's Garden of Verses, the Iliad and the Odyssey, Myths and Legends and many others, are beautifully reproduced and included here. An interview with their daughter Karen Provensen Mitchell illuminates their life and career and includes many personal photographs, quotes, speeches, and memorabilia from their archive.
