Recently Read: Only What's Necessary: Charles M. Schulz and the Art of Peanuts, by Chip Kidd
Readers of Chip Kidd's 2001 Peanuts: The Art of Charles M. Schulz (or readers of any of Kidd's superlatively designed books) will know that Only What's Necessary: Charles M. Schulz and the Art of Peanuts is a must. Given access to the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center, Kidd and photographer Geoff Spear present, chronologically, original sketches, pencils and inks never published before - revealing the cartoonist's working processes. Seeing close-ups of the original pencils, inks and white-out on textured paper is a revelation. Also included are WWII drawings, newspaper clippings and advertisements, drawings produced for friends, illustrated envelopes, comic book work, early comic strip series, promotional materials, abandoned dailies, letters and much more. This is essential for Peanuts fans.
