Ken Munowitz

American

About the artist:

Born in Bronx, NY. Children's book illustrator, once the art director at Horizon. His figures of humans and animals are highly stylized, bulky, rounded and a bit reminiscent of the animals in Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are, yet not as gigantic. Munowitz’s images are gentle and cuddly. Noah and his wife face the first drops of the Great Rain with calm steadfastness. And, although frightened of the eyes of animals in the moon-lit night, baby Moses, riding the Nile in his basket, looks out onto a beautiful and peaceful scene. Together, Munowitz and Charles L. Mee, Jr. tell very simple stories. And their books are delightful. NY Times Critic David Shirey wrote: “Despite his brief career as an artist, he was able to produce a body of work of outstanding significance, especially the paintings he did in the few years before his untimely death. They deliver an extraordinary emotional and dramatic impact, filled with a powerfully spellbinding intensity.
