Illustrators 44 Book

The Society of Illustrators Annual of American Illustration remains the original and most comprehensive compilation of illustration on the market. Innovative, exciting work by established illustrators and newcomers makes this book the best reference source for trends in an ever-changing industry. Chosen from more than 6000 entries, the 400+ examples of classic solutions and novel approaches to client needs stimulate and inform the viewer. Each year a jury of professionals selects the best work in the categories of "Editorial"; "Book"; "Advertising"; "Institutional"; and "Uncommissioned." Plus, this year's annual features the Society's newest category, "Sequential," celebrating that artwork that tells a story (i.e. comics and graphic novels.) This annual notes the Gold and Silver medal award winners and profiles of the newly elected members of the Illustrators Hall of Fame: Milton Glaser, Daniel Schwartz, Jean-Leon Huens and E. Simms Campbell, along with this year's Hamilton King Award winner, Peter de Seve. In all, this annual stands as a compelling and insighfult testament to the personalities of artists past and present.
