Juliet Kepes

Juliet Kepes (née Appleby; 1919–1999) was a British illustrator, painter and sculptor.

[1] When in 1937, György was offered a teaching position at the New Bauhaus in Chicago – Juliet went with him to study, while he taught.

[1] In later life, they moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts – again for György's work.

[1] In the early 1950s, Kepes began writing and illustrating children's book.

The work was good enough to win a Caldecott Medal honour in 1953, missing out on the medal to The Biggest Bear by Lynd Ward.
