Kathleen Hale
was a British artist, illustrator, and children's author. She is well known for
the illustrations she created about Orlando the marmalade cat.
During the
1920s she focused on creating book jackets, posters and illustrating children’s
books as well as selling her own drawings.
Orlando the marmalade cat was a story that she would tell her two sons before they went to bed and in the 1940s and 50’s the book became very well known especially due to the illustrations.
To be completely honest I don’t really like the work of Kathleen hale for me they look to old fashioned and dated, I can see why they would appeal to illustration students and children as the drawing its self is really remarkable and the texture on the fur of the cat looks really nice but this style of work is not for me and I doubt I would ever do any work in the style of this artist.
