Thanks so much for the post about Kay Nielsen. He has been one of my favorite illustrators since I was a child and received a copy of “East of the Sun and West of the Moon”. So nice to read about his influences and those he has influenced. (…and thanks for your great blog—I read it every day)

wonderful blog!!! I’m glad that I came across such an informative site about Illustration. I truly appreciate what you have done here, more so because I am an illustrator myself.

I enjoy Kay Nielsen and Mucha’s art (Nielsen because it reminds me so much of the storybooks I read when I was young.
Would you mind if I link you as creative resource in my blog? I know many people will love what you have here!

I’ve just recently found your lovely blog. I lvoe this article because some fo these illustrators are my favourite and others are new to me. I love Mucha especially after visiting his museum in Prague, and enjoyed your post about him. We love our Mucha playing cards! I think his art is not as well known as his illustration and design work, so it’s good to see his foundation promoting it.

Art Nouveau and Jugendstil, especially the latter even had its influence on Finnish architecture and artists like Axel Gallen-Kallela, my favourite Finnish artist of the period.
