for “Covered With Vines: The Many Talents of Ludwig Bemelmans”
About
“The committee felt that this catalog deserved an honorable mention,” remarked Johnston. “’Covered With Vines’ presents a comprehensive overview of the artistic work of Ludwig Bemelmans. Bemelmans is familiar to many for his work on the ‘Madeline’ series, but the full extent of his work is much less well-known. The committee was particularly impressed with how well the catalog gave comprehensive coverage to Bemelmans’ full career as a writer and artist, while still celebrating the ‘Madeline’ children’s books for which Bemelmans is so well-known, and which are so instantly recognizable to many children and adults alike.”
