Sendak’s influences on the art of the picture book as well as our thinking about childhood has been ubiquitous and profound. The seminar will explore Sendak works (in print and other media) with special attention to the rich historical sources of his works, his archetypal poetics, his revisioning of the form of the picture book, and his redefinition of the role of the artist creating works for young people in contemporary culture. Along with discussions of his core works, participants in the seminar will respond to Sendak’s works imaginatively, through a series of bi-weekly creative projects and a final, longer work.

They Know Everything Children and Suffering
They Know Everything Children and Suffering Maurice Sendak Herbert Schreier Herbert Schreier We have learned a lot in the thirty years since we began seriously studying the long- term effects of trauma. Without going into too much detail, there are many kinds of trauma. There are traumas that occur at the hands of human beings, and traumas caused by natural disasters. There are kids traumatized individually, in groups, and there are whole populations traumatized. There are also kids who are traumatized repeatedly in family situations. People can be traumatized by situations. Witnesses to trauma, for example, can be traumatized. We also know that kids have an extraordinary memory for trauma and that memory can precede language. There are two really painful cases in the literature of children who were known to have experienced trauma prior to the development of language. One was an eight- month-old baby who was in a pornography ring. When she was being observed in play therapy, she kept stabbing a baby doll with a pencil in the belly button. Eight months into therapy it just happened that they discovered the cache of photographs, and there was this child with an erect penis in her belly button. If you don’t do trauma work, these stories may upset you, but just telling them can give you a sense of what it is to be traumatized. There’s a case of a child who watched her mother being blown up by a letter bomb when she was one year old, again preverbal. At age four, she was not getting on well with her adoptive family.

THE ROLES of the VISUAL in PICTUREBOOKS: BEYOND the CONVENTIONS of CURRENT DISCOURSE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillme
THE ROLES OF THE VISUAL IN PICTUREBOOKS: BEYOND THE CONVENTIONS OF CURRENT DISCOURSE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Dominic Catalano, BS, MA, MFA ****** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Sydney Walker, Advisor ___________________________________ Professor Ken Marantz Advisor Professor Janet Hickman Art Education Graduate Program Copyright by Dominic Catalano 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this investigation is to examine the meaning making potential of the visual properties of the literary and artistic genre known as the picturebook. In addition, the means in which we come to understand the visual in picturebooks is challenged, particularly in regards to written text and in context within the conventions of the larger picturebook community. Through primarily a poststructural semiotic analysis of three major post-1960s picturebook works (plus an addtional work produced by this author), this study demonstrates the deeper potentials of meaning in the visual elements of illustration and design qualties beyond current discourse. Lastly, this deeper potential meaning is qualified as to its impact on the picturebook field itself, as to the making, interpretation, and criticism of picturebooks, and to the utilization in education, especially the practise of visual art education. ii Dedicated to my wife, Oksana, my calm port in life’s stormy sea iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Sydney Walker, for her encouragement and support throughout the writing of this study, and Drs. Kenneth Marantz and Janet Hickman for their expertise in the field.

From Limbo to Childhood
INTRODUCTION FROM LIMBO TO CHILDHOOD “I don’t like all kids,” the late Maurice Sendak (1928–2012) once infamously declared. “Some of them are as awful as their parents.”1 Very young people, he believed, are not categorically alike. Sendak rejected the Enlightenment-based notion that children are “blank slates,” shape- able matter born to serve an enfranchised status quo by playing the socially desired role—in the case of modern childhood, that role was usually “the innocent.” Ideals of childhood innocence, he felt, reflected adults’ demands that children not know or feel, but instead primarily behave, submitting to dictation from an exclusionary society. Children, the artist asserted, were tragically socialized out of the fierce honesty and emotional transparency with which they are born and which few adults manage to maintain.2 He believed in children’s inherent capacity to differ from each other, to question, to know, to preserve endangered parts of the self, and to resist sanctioned injustices. In the artist’s own words, his work explores “how a child deals with revolutionary, tumul- tuous feelings that have no place in a given setting, like the classroom or his mother’s apartment.”3 Situated in broader cultural and historical contexts, the present study shines new light on Sendak’s own displaced Copyright © 2020.

Maurice Sendak & Other Books for Adults
Pryor-Johnson Rare Books Brook ly n Antiquarian Book Fair 7–8 September 2019 Maurice Sendak & Other Books for Adults In 2012, Maurice Sendak became internet-famous. He was, of course, already in-real-life-famous; from the publication of Where the Wild Things Are in 1963, he was known as one of the great au- thor-illustrators, in the tradition of Edward Lear and setting the stage for Eric Carle. Yet it wasn’t until an interview with Stephen Colbert, the alter ego of Stephen Colbert on The Colbert Report (cole- BARE ruh-PORE) that adults who had perhaps forgotten the great man remembered him again. Colbert, needling Sendak in his Connecticut home, asks him: “Why write for children?” Sendak volleys back: I don’t write for children. [You don’t?] No. I write. And somebody says: “that’s for children!” With these words, Sendak sets to rights a silly niggling distinction in books “for children” and those that are not. The hand-wringing breeds terms such as “graphic novel” to make illustrated books “acceptable” for adults to read. Sendak asks us — always in his quiet way subverting — why the fuss? With this catalogue we celebrate Sendak’s work and the perfect good sense he made so much of the time. The first half spans nearly the entirety of his career, from A Hole Is To Dig (with Ruth Krauss, 1952) through to his first and only pop-up bookMommy? in 2006. Along the way we have an exceptionally rare page-proof of Where the Wild Things Are, a large dossier of publication and adver- tising materials for Outside Over There (which Sendak considered his finest work) and his two major retrospectives, edited by Selma Lanes (1980) and by Tony Kushner (2003).
