Bare, Arnold Edwin

Arnold Edwin Bare was born June 20, 1920 in New York. He attended Yale University for two years where he learned the importance of setting in a story. In 1943 he illustrated his first book for children, Pierre Pidgeon, by Lee Kingman. The book's artwork was widely praised and the book was the Caldecott Award runner-up for 1944. Arnold Bare continued to illustrate books for children throughout the 1940s and 1950s, and 1952 wrote his book, Maui's Summer. Throughout his career, he has tried to make drawing descriptive of a country and its people and tried to travel to the country that was his setting.
