Description: AN ARTISTBy M.B. Goffstein(1980)First printing of this poignant and minimalist reflection on the importance of artists.Fine in near fine dust jacket. M. B. Goffstein imbued her children's books with her personality - editor Susan Barba reflects that Goffstein "found the right art form, the right structure and patterning, to distill her life experience [...] she managed to compress an entire philosophy into a single line - or two lines rather, the line of the drawing and the line of the text." Her skillful combination of story and image earned her a Caldecott Honor in 1977, among other accolades.Read more: Betsy Bird, "Re-releasing M.B.
