Sendak, Maurice Bernard

Sendak, Maurice Bernard,

1928–2012, American writer and illustrator of children's books, b. Brooklyn, N.Y. Largely self-taught, he was widely acclaimed as the 20th-century's most important childrens' book artist. His illustrations—beautifully drawn, wildly imaginative and stylistically varied, often emotionally complex, and sometimes controversial—appear in dozens of children's books, beginning with The Wonderful Farm (1951) and including The Sign on Rosie's Door (1960) and Where the Wild Things Are (1963), which he also wrote; In the Night Kitchen (1970); Outside over There (1981); and We Are All in the Dumps with Jack and Guy (1993). From the mid-1980s on, he devoted much of his time to theatrical work, but in 2011 Bumble-Ardy, the first children's picture book written and illustrated by him in 30 years, was published. His lyrical and elegiac My Brother's Book (2013), inspired by his late brother, was published posthumously, as was Presto and Zesto in Limboland (2018), written with Arthur Yorinks. Sendak illustrated a number of adult works, e.g., Melville's Pierre (1995).

The musical productions Sendak designed include Mozart's The Magic Flute, a musical version of Where the Wild Things Are, the Metropolitan Opera's production of Prokofiev's Love for Three Oranges (1985), and the Holocaust-themed A Selection (1999), created with the Pilobolus Dance TheaterPilobolus Dance Theater
