Farm Animals Children's Book Original Illustration Little Golden Book

Creator: Leonard Shortall
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
A British Children's Book Illustrator paints a charming picture of two happy boys painting a barn, surrounded by a gaggle of farm animals and a zebra. The present painting blends a stylized painting technique with clarity and fun factor to appeal to its young audience. It was done for Little Golden Books, which were known for hiring great artists who fled Europe during World War II, thereby establishing a high aesthetic standard. Little Golden Books revolutionized the children's book market. They were of high quality, well-thought-out, and available in mass-market venues such as magazine stands, five-and-dime stores, grocery stores, drug stores, train and bus stations, and newsstands.Unsigned, Board size 8 x 6.38, unframed
