And behind the illustrations sparking the imagination of generations was a man who had an extraordinary existence,\u003cstrong\u003e Garth Williams\u003c\/strong\u003e... here you'll enjoy his story as an artist and an illustrator.\n\nIt is the story of how his journey led him from winning sculpture awards at the Royal College of Art in London, to capturing the essence of frontier life in the American West, to rendering the humanity of beloved animal characters. Also explores the historical context that affected Williams’ life and art, both in the old world and the new. Against the frenetic pace of post-war suburbanization, Williams’ illustrations nurtured a connection with the animal world and with a vanishing agrarian life. By tapping into American themes, Williams spoke to a postwar yearning for simplicity.\n\nComplete with more than 60 illustrations, this is the first full biography of Garth Williams written with the help and cooperation of his family.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOut of Print.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCondition: Fine.\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightly bumped corners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59643769323806,"sku":"RB7485","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/RB7485-garth-williams-life.jpg?v=1784518301","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/garth-williams-american-illustrator-a-life","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
