David Wiesner

    February 5, 1956

    David Wiesner has always been intrigued by the sequence of thoughts that precede and follow a captured image. His works possess a cinematic quality, conveying the progression of ideas leading up to and after a particular moment. The patterned wallpaper of his childhood, adorned with rockets, elephant heads, and magnifying glasses, awakened a creativity that imbues his art with a dreamlike, imaginative essence. Drawing inspiration from Renaissance masters to surrealists, Wiesner constructs new worlds on paper, often through wordless narratives that explore the nature of visual storytelling.

      A 2014 Caldecott Honor Book In a near wordless masterpiece that could only have been devised by David Wiesner, a cat named Mr. Wuffles doesn't care about toy mice or toy goldfish. He's much more interested in playing with a little spaceship full of actual aliens--but the ship wasn't designed for this kind of rough treatment. Between motion sickness and damaged equipment, the aliens are in deep trouble. When the space visitors dodge the cat and take shelter behind the radiator to repair the damage, they make a host of insect friends. The result? A humorous exploration of cooperation between aliens and insects, and of the universal nature of communication involving symbols, "cave" paintings, and gestures of friendship.
