The Art of Children, Richard Ott, with Folio of 16 Loose Color Plates 1970 folk aet or a plant

or a plant

but with only one remaining appears to be giving a somewhat defiant side glance

The Art of Children, Richard Ott, with Folio of 16 Loose Color Plates 1970 folk aet or a plantI spotted this oversized book folio at an antique show last weekend and was sold on the cover alone I could look at that dark gray whiskered creature against soft yellow ground all day long. Happily, there is a color plate of it, along with fifteen more loose color plates, inside. And a matching size 8 page booklet, with more examples of extraordinary works by children. Produced by Muller & Kiepenheuer Verlag for Pantheon Books and published in 1952,
