GERGELY was a Hungarian/Jewish artist and illustrator. He worked in Hungary and Vienna as a fine artist and newspaper illustrator. When he fled the Nazi regime and came to the US, he joined the newly founded Golden Books and became one of the most beloved Children's book illustrators in the US. More about him at my blog, SeeSaw, www.seesaw.typepad.com and www.tiborgergely.com

Tibor Gergely Watch Me Said The Jeep. "...there is a great deal of thought in these compositions. Today, many children’s book illustrations are cluttered and packed with details. Gergely was at his core a storyteller, so he keeps the illustrations clear enough that even very young children can follow the story."

The awesomely named Tibor Gergely fled the Nazis for New York, where he illustrated one million Golden Books, plus the two Important Wartime Lesson stories the AFISA-Hollywood Animation Archive recently posted. They're just a taste of what's to come; seems Gergely's heirs are preparing to release a whole bunch more of the artist's work online. "Watch Me!" Said The Jeep is fine, but I have to give a shoutout to The Red, White, and Blue Car, which pairs Gergely's fine artwork with an odd, intermittently rhymed story about carpooling and MacGyvering by none other than Lucy Sprague Mitchell. LSM was the Founding Mother Of Preschool, Education, And Modern Childhood As We Know It, as well as the founder of the Bank Street School, and the Bank Street Writers program, which served as the incubator/matchmaker for Goodnight Moon. None of that held Mitchell back from collaborating on at least two more slice-of-modern-life children's books with Gergely: The Taxi That Hurried (1946) and A Year In The City (1948). Both are out of print but available in bulk on Amazon. Golden Book: Tibor Gergely's Early Children's Books [animationarchive.org via thingsmagazine]

Tibor Gergely, charcoal sketch of woman in hat. “It often happens that the essence of a whole lies concealed in some minor, insignificant detail. To find that detail and to express with it the whole - this is the joy of discovery, and the painterly gratification of the artist.” Tibor Gergely www.tiborgergely.com
