Quentin Blake is one of the foremost illustrators of the 20th century. Perhaps best known for his collaboration with Roald Dahl on books such as 'The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me,' 'The Twits' and 'Matilda,' he is cherished by young and old alike, throughout the world. Yet his work has not attained 'fine art' status. Should it be considered so? How does Blake's background in education inform his work? And what is the interrelation between the work he makes and the life that he leads? Distinguished curator Ghislaine Kenyon has spent a great deal of time with Blake during the last decade and a half and in this book she provides a profound insight into an extraordinary man and a truly remarkable body of work.
