ABOUT ETIENNE DELESSERT
For more than thirty years this self-taught artist has been translating his-and the world's-ideas, passions, fantasies and nightmares into the visual language of books, magazine illustrations, posters, animated films, paintings and sculptures. He reaches both children and adults with his imaginary creatures and landscapes, juxtaposing the familiar with the fantastic to clarify this world and create new and lasting universes.
Delessert has illustrated more than eighty books, some translated in 14 languages, with more than four million copies sold worldwide. From his groundbreaking The Endless Party, created in the 60's, along with his influential collaborations with Eugene Ionesco (Story Number One) and Jean Piaget (How The Mouse...), to his more recent award-winning A Long Long Song; Ashes, Ashes; Dance!; The Seven Dwarfs; Who Killed Cock Robin?; and Humpty Dumpty, he is considered as one of the fathers of modern childrens' picture books.
