The work of Edward Ardizzone, RA (1900-79) - probably the best-known
British illustrator of his generation - is prolific and instantly
recognisable. This book provides the first full overview of Ardizzone's
work since the artist's death, analysing in turn his activity as an
artist, writer and teacher, as well as incorporating fascinating
biographical detail. Including many previously unpublished images,
Edward Ardizzone: Artist and Illustrator contributes to the current
reassessment and investigation of mid-twentieth century British art and
illustration. Powers's critically considered text is both appropriate
for academic use and accessible to a wider readership familiar with
Ardizzone's work from childhood or encountering it for the first time.
