"TYDYT...TYT...TYT" Czech Children's Book Illustrations by Jan Kubicek


Kids' book "TYDYT...TYT...TYT" written by Jan Noha, illustrated by a Czech artist Jan Kubicek (1927-2013). Published by SNDK Praha 1962. I don't own this book, but nicked these photos from eBay.



 









"Jan Kubíček was a Czech painter and graphic designer, and one of the most radical Central European exponents of constructivist and concrete art. He also spent more than a decade illustrating children's books for Czechoslovakia's main publishing house Albatros and designed iconic film posters and book covers throughout the 1960s." - Wikipedia

 

Here are a few of his movie posters.

    These are beautiful. Czech Illustrators have such a distinct style. HAve you ever seen the works of Miroslav Šašek?

    Yes! Šašek is a midcentury master. One of many!
