William Steig

    14 november 1907 – 3 oktober 2003

    William Steigs schrijven wordt geleid door zijn overtuiging dat kinderen verlangen naar de zekerheid van een toegewijde familie en vrienden. Zijn verhalen tonen consequent personages die, ongeacht hun avonturen, de weg terug naar huis vinden naar families die op hen wachten. Vanaf het begin van zijn literaire carrière is vriendschap een gevierd thema, dat resoneert door zijn verhalende werk en lezers een gevoel van warmte en verbinding biedt.

      William Steig (1907–2003), celebrated for his cartoons and children's books, left an enduring legacy throughout the twentieth century. This richly illustrated volume showcases over 280 of Steig's drawings, many previously unpublished, and explores the full spectrum of his work. It covers his early "Small Fry" cartoons for the New Yorker, poignant symbolic drawings from the late 1930s and 1940s, and his later, humorously incisive cartoons and beloved children’s books. Over his seventy-three years with the New Yorker, Steig contributed more than 120 covers and over 1,600 drawings in various styles, including classic cartoons and psychologically complex illustrations. His unique voice drew from his background as the son of Eastern European Jewish immigrants. In his sixties, he transitioned to writing and illustrating children's literature, creating iconic works like Sylvester and the Magic Pebble and Shrek! These projects reflect key themes in Steig's oeuvre, such as reverie, the quirks of human nature, and the transformative power of love and art. Claudia J. Nahson, along with fellow artists, writers, and Steig's family, narrates the story of a keen social observer with a vibrant imagination and deep passion for his craft.
