Read MoreJan Balet (1913-2009) was a German-born artist best known in the U.S. for his success in the 40s, 50s and 60s as a commercial illustrator in New York City, where he designed for major corporations and publications and authored and illustrated children's books. Returning to Europe in 1965, this self-proclaimed “sophisticated primitive” continued as a children's book author and illustrator, but spent the majority of his final years creating a vast body of work through painting, etching, lithographs, and watercolors.
Though out of print for many years, Jan's children’s books Amos and the Moon and The Five Rollatinis are available at Ammo Books!
