Anton Pieck (1895 - 1987)

I've made no secret of my enduring loyalty to the Dutch artists;  again and again, they seem to have the stuff to capture my imagination, and at times, my heart.  Usually this special status is reserved for the painters,  but I make an exception here for the wonderful illustrator, Anton Pieck.  His images are full of colour and whimsey,  with almost magical settings and people.    There's almost a Disney-esque aura about his work,  which, I found while researching this post, he comes by honestly.  He was crucial to the design of the Efteling theme park,  apparently one of the hot theme parks in Europe.  It also apparently has had a historical relationship with Disney, which is quite a suitable relationship, in my mind. 

Anton Pieck is a rare and wonderful treat.
