To join William in reading between the lines of the Sendak interview -- we might notice that the names he places into the iconic artist club are all writers or composers. (Mozart, Melville, Dickenson etc)
I.e. -- Sendak is not giving ground to any visual artists -- and I suspect that he feels (as I do) that his memorable, poignant, narrative vision is a greater achievement than the work of contemporary iconic visual artists like Jasper Johns and Chuck Close. (and way-way-way greater than the billionaire joke artists like Damien Hurst) Either way -- only the obsessive mind of Cheerskep would find him nourishing the Platonic forms of "illustrator" or "artist". ____________________________________________________________ Internet Security Software - Click here. http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL2231/fc/Ioyw6ijlZS7BfiQLJLajaGccEyrj8k HknQUt26DVcpx55Z0SnXzXCU/
