Lewitt & Him was a teamof Polish artists who emigrated toEngland following the Nazi invasionof their country in 1939. Their bold,almost abstract designs inspiredmany other children's bookillustrators, particularly after thewar. Their characteristic style evolvedfrom blending surrealist and cubisttendencies with whimsicalhumour.’Him wrote of theirmeeting, “when I met Lewitt ... wediscovered that we had almostidentical views on graphic design.

We were both perfectionists. We also discovered that instead of showering eachother with compliments, we could together achieve a much higher level. Althoughover the years we never quit arguing, the results seem to suggest that ultimately, inthis we were not mistaken.”
