Notes de l'éditeur
- Illustrated over 85 books and wrote 24
- The tension was thick for the Katz children. Although Keats’ mother was nurturing and supportive of her sons talents as an artist. The father would not support this talent, for it was not something that could pay the bills. Ironically when the father lost his job, Ezra was able to paint store signs, and sell his paintings in order to help support the family.
- Father would take him to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Told him if he wanted to make money painting he would have to paint pictures of famous people. EJK felt differently and was highly inspired by the painting by Daumier Third Class Carriage
