[Signed] Bemelmans, Ludwig. My Life in Art. First Edition. 1959. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in good condition—it shows chipping and repaired tears. Book is signed “Ludwig Bemelmans” on the half title page.
Ludwig Bemelmans shared with Cecil Beaton that unique eye for detail and color that he could translate just as easily by either word or illustration. This quarto-size monograph contains both. In the first half, Bemelmans intersperses b & w sketches with concise but amusing vignettes on how he came to be a painter. The second half consists of thirty-four full-page color plates of his recent work in oil and gouache. The images exude charm and sophistication, perfect executions of Bemelmans’ divine imagination.
