This first career-spanning monograph from mid-century illustrator John Rombola is poised to reveal his spirited, playful style to a new generation of art buffs, illustration mavens, and fans of good design. One of the most astonishing things about Robola's drawings is that they feel as fresh and contemporary today as when they first were published a half century ago. As such, they are ripe to delight, astonish, and amuse fans of the rampant renaissance in illustration that we have seen in recent years. A treasure trove of inspiration and visual fun, this hefty volume is a must-have for any graphic arts book collection.
