Innovators of American IllustrationSteven Heller Modern illustration has moved through various aesthetic categories. As they graduate from the restrictions of realism, illustrators have rediscovered the importance of the personal voice. This book is a survey of 21 contemporary illustrators who have developed an essentially individual life. They include Marshall Arisman, Seymour Chwast, Milton Glaser, and Maurice Sendak, represented by a superb collection of both black-and-white and color illustrations. More interesting, however, are the interviews. The question-and-answer approach provides fascinating glimpses of both the creative process and the technical procedures used by each illustrator.
