THE ILLUSTRATED MAN: ARTIST TOMI UNGERER TAKES ON NAZIS, NUDES, AND CHILDREN'S BOOKS
A new documentary tracks the life and work of rule-breaking illustrator Tomi Ungerer, whose art spanned kids' books and erotica.
Lots of proud parents put their kids' artwork up on the refrigerator, but Tomi Ungerer's childhood drawings, saved by his mother, took crayon on paper handiwork to a whole new level by documenting the Nazi invasion of his French home town.
As chronicled in new film Far Out Isn't Far Enough, the illustrator would later charm children, skewer war mongers, and indulge his personal fascination with sado-masochistic erotica with equal aplomb.
