Maurice Bernard Sendak June 10 1928 May 8 2012 was an American illustrator and writer of children's books. He became widely known for his book Where the Wild Things Are first published in 1963. Born to Polish-Jewish parents his childhood was affected by the death of many of his family members during the Holocaust. Sendak also wrote works such as In the Night Kitchen Outside Over There and illustrated many works by other authors including the Little Bear books by Else Holmelund Minarik. Sendak gained international acclaim after writing and illustrating Where the Wild Things Are edited by Ursula Nordstrom at Harper & Row. It features Max a boy who "rages against his mother for being sent to bed without any supper". The book's depictions of fanged monsters concerned some parents when it was first published as his characters were somewhat grotesque in appearance. Before Where the Wild Things Are Sendak was best known for illustrating Else Holmelund Minarik's Little Bear series of books. Sendak later recounted the reaction of a fan: "A little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children's letters sometimes very hastily but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote 'Dear Jim: I loved your card.' Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said: 'Jim loved your card so much he ate it.' That to me was one of the highest compliments I've ever received. He didn't care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it he loved it he ate it." Almost fifty years later School Library Journal sponsored a survey of readers which identified Where the Wild Things Are as a top picture book. The librarian who conducted it observed that there was little doubt what would be voted number one and highlighted its designation by one reader as a watershed "ushering in the modern age of picture books". Another called it "perfectly crafted perfectly illustrated . simply the epitome of a picture book" and noted that Sendak "rises above the rest in part because he is subversive." Wikipedia unknown

Chromolithographic poster measuring 17 by 23 inches; professionally lined and framed entire piece measures 17-3/4 by 23-3/4 inches. $1700.Wonderful poster advertising The Pierpont Morgan Library's 1981 Sendak exhibition focusing on The Magic Flute and Outside Over There inscribed for presentation to Sendak's neighbor and close friend: ""For ElizabethaffectionatelyMaurice Jan:81.""This poster advertises the Morgan Library's 1981 exhibition of Sendak's work in which his work was presented in dialogue with two other exhibitions featuring works by William Blake and W.A. Mozart. Sendak's exhibition focused on his illustrations for The Magic Flute and Outside Over There. In fact a pencil study from Outside Over There was used for the main poster illustration and depicts the protagonist Ida playing a jig on her horn to scare goblins away from her little sister. The former owner of this inscribed poster was Maurice Sendak's neighbor Andrew from Ridgefield Connecticut. Sendak bought a home and studio in Ridgefield in 1972 with his longtime partner Eugene Glynn and lived there until his death. Andrew first encountered Sendak in 1975 during one of his daily dog walks. Sendak owned many dogs throughout his life and they often starred in his books. Andrew was immediately taken with Sendak who reminded him of his recently deceased father. One day Andrew called Sendak at home and asked if he could join him on his walks. Andrew and Sendak thus embarked on a 37-year friendship that also included the Andrew's mother Betty as well as Andrew's brother. Sendak went on long walks and hikes with Andrew and his family regularly discussing general life events opera and books. He also invited them into his studio to show off works in progress. Andrew's mother Betty was an avid reader and collector and she and Sendak would talk late into the night about books. Sendak offered Betty advice about how to find and authenticate rare children's books which she used to build her collection. Additionally he frequently bartered for autographs i.e. a cake for an inscribed drawing featuring the cake. Sendak often referred to Betty as ""Elizabeth"" in inscriptions as he felt that ""Betty"" was too common a name. The many inscribed drawings along with first editions signed books and other valuable items grew into one of the country's premier Sendak collections.Inscription faded to gray but still fully legible. Fine condition. unknown
