As a young man in the 1930s, he took on commissions from book publishers, newspapers, and journals, and illustrated brochures for companies such as Wagon-Lits/Thomas Cook travel agency. He studied architecture for a while but really was more interested in drawing and painting. Full of insight into the life and work of a singular talent, Miroslav Sasek will appeal to illustrators and those interested in the midcentury modern period. Sasek was born in Prague in 1916 and was drawn to art early in life. In this beautifully designed volume, illustrated with sketches and original artwork from the Sasek Foundation in Prague, with examples ranging from Greece to Hong Kong, Rome to San Francisco, Ireland to Israel, Paris to New York, and more, Sasek's best-known works come alive alongside lesser-known aspects of his practice, such as oil painting. Ponote se do svta kouzelných ilustrací Miroslava aka, eského spisovatele a ilustrátora, který procestoval celý svt. Acclaimed author Martin Salisbury analyzes Sasek's techniques and how his work not only reflects his architectural training and the ideas of the midcentury European avant-garde, but also the influence of contemporaries such as Saul Steinberg.
