Editorial Reviews

Product Description
"Fast becoming a folk artist of cult status in America."-USA Today

"The work of Stephen Huneck is like laughter-enriching and uplifting to the soul."-Boston magazine

"One of the nation's hottest artists."-The Seattle Times

This beautiful book, the first to survey the career of Stephen Huneck, offers a window into the charming world of a well-loved contemporary artist. Best known as the creator of Abrams' Sally at the Beach (a New York Times best-seller) and other children's books featuring the adorable black Labrador retriever, Huneck is a multitalented artist whose work ranges from prints to furniture, from humor to spirituality.

Huneck draws on the tradition of New England folk art, exploring classic American themes and showcasing his exquisite skills as a craftsman, but he transcends tradition with the imaginative quality of his art. Profusely illustrated, this book features the woodcuts of dogs that propelled the artist to fame, but it also includes images of cats and birds, nuns and angels, playful corporate men and bathing beauties. Huneck's books have earned him an enduring popularity, and this lovely volume is sure to bring a host of new admirers to his heartwarming work. AUTHOR BIO: Laura Beach is a writer with a special interest in folk art. She has contributed to exhibition catalogues and periodicals, including The New York Times. She has been an editor at Antiques and The Arts Weekly since 1986. Beach lives in Mystic, Connecticut.

5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive work on Stephen Huneck's art, June 9, 2005
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
To aptly describe in text one Stephen Huneck's art, it might be best to rely on the succinct quote from Arts and Antiques Magazine: "If Walt Disney had ever met Rene Magritte and the two had decided to make furniture together, they'd have produced something close to Stephen Huneck's work." However, for an even better description, turn to Laura Beach's definitive Art Of Stephen Huneck: it packs in full-page, color reproductions of his work - sometimes as full as 2-page spreads - and accompanies these with clear details on the artist and his works. Highly recommended as the definitive work on Stephen Huneck's art.
