        Jun. 17, 2021

        PETR SÍS 1949 - SPEEDWAY #3

        Est: -

        The target "Speedway # 3" is inspired by the original image, which was in Sís' film "Mimicry" and reproduced in the magazine Film & Doba and also in the book "Wall". Petr Sís made a series of targets, which at that time were bought or given to many people, including Pavel "Pavka" Komberc. The theme of the targets varied, some had director Jaromír Vašta and singer Waldemar Matuška. The targets were made of wood, mostly with an oil pastel base and figures of gouache, which was fixed with all the wax. Petr Sís is the author of twenty-seven books for children and young people, and he has created illustrations for another approximately sixty books. He is also the creator of animated films. Technique: Oil pastel, gouache on wood, Signed: Unsigned

Provenance: Morton Schindel. Czech-born MacArthur Fellow, Hans Christian Andersen Medalist and Caldecott Honor Winner Peter Sís is internationally renowned as a children’s book illustrator, painter, muralist and animator. Perhaps his best known work is the poster for the Oscar W inning Best Picture Amadeus (1984). He is also a gifted miniaturist who supported himself for a time after defecting to America by painting Easter eggs. He presented one to the Clintons in The White House in 1995. For several years he sent these exquisite tiny New Year’s greetings to award winning Weston Woods producer Morton Schindel. The two were planning to do an animated film of the picture book Rainbow Rhino (1987), but it was never made.

        Est: $8,000 - $10,000

        "The Hobbit or There and Back Again," watercolor with pen-and-ink and gold paint, 406 x 215 mm, signed "SÍS" in lower central panel. Published: The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 2001), front cover of dust jacket. Czech-born illustrator Peter Sís is one of the most honored of contemporary children's book artists. His picture books have been named Caldecott Honor Books and have regularly appeared in the New York Times best illustrated books of the year list. He is also the first children's book illustrator to have been awarded a MacArthur Fellowship. Sís employed a lighter, more fanciful approach to the great children's classic than that of previous artists. The various panels offer his solution to capturing the complexity of the novel in a single composition.
