Remy Charlip: What Is The World?

Endpapers by Ray Johnson

What is the World? by Betty Miles, illustrated by Remy Charlip, Knopf 1958. Charlip illustrated two more books for Betty Miles: A Day Of Summer (1960) and A Day Of Winter (1961), but this is by far the best of those collaborations. Contains contributions by Ray Johnson (endpapers), John Cage ("snow flakes") and Norman Solomon ("postcard"). Remy Charlip was friends with Johnson and he appears in the extra footage of the great film How To Draw A Bunny.

Ruth Krauss: Something Else Press

There's a little ambiguity over there among the bluebells by Ruth Krauss (with graphics by Marilyn Harris), Something Else Press, 1968

One of only a few books Ruth Krauss wrote for an adult audience, this book of "Theatre Poems" was published by Something Else Press (founded by Fluxus artist Dick Higgins). Includes contributions by Dick Higgins, George Brecht, and Remy Charlip. Some of the poems previously appeared in her 1965 book The Cantilever Rainbow.

Maybe best known as the author of The Carrot Seed (illustrated by her husband Crockett Johnson), Ruth Krauss was also Maurice Sendak's mentor and early collaborator. She worked with countless illustrators, including Ad Reinhardt (!), Phyllis Rowland, Marc Simont, Mary Blair, Ellen Raskin and Remy Charlip.

"At a time when children's books tended to be didactic, with lots of text, Ms. Krauss pioneered the use of minimal text, concentrating on precise language and working closely with an illustrator". -From NY Times obituary
