Gustaf Tenggren

Another fine illustrator of te past is Gustaf Tenggren, a Swedish-American. He is known for his fairy-tale style and use of figures with caricatured faces. Tenggren was a chief illustrator for The Walt Disney Company in the late 1930s, in what has been called the Golden Age of American animation, when full length animated films such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Fantasia, Bambi and Pinocchio were produced. After he left the studio he never painted that way again. From 1942 to 1962, Tenggren worked for Little Golden Books with illustrations for children's books such as Tawny Scrawny Lion; Little Black Sambo and The Poky Little Puppy, which became the single all-time best-selling hardcover children's book. He is a true  inspiration for the designs for het Ei geboortekaartjes
