Maurice Sendak (1928-2012) was one of the most influential and celebrated children's book illustrators and authors of the 20th century. His distinct and often darkly whimsical style, which broke traditional norms in children's literature, had a profound impact on how stories for young readers were both written and visualized. Born to Polish-Jewish immigrants in Brooklyn, New York, Sendak’s early life was shaped by his family's immigrant experience and the tragedies of World War II, which had a significant influence on his artistic work.
Early Life and Inspirations
Maurice Bernard Sendak was born on June 10, 1928, to Sadie and Philip Sendak, both of whom were Jewish immigrants from Poland. Growing up in Brooklyn, he was a sickly child, often confined to his bed, which gave him ample time to develop a deep love for reading and drawing. His early artistic influences came from sources such as Disney animated films, early comic strips like Mickey Mouse and Krazy Kat, and European illustrators, particularly the work of William Blake and Winsor McCay, known for his pioneering comic strip Little Nemo in Slumberland.
