I didn't know he was partly responsible for the art in Night on Bald Mountain - I was terrified of it! But perhaps that's a testament to the power of his imagery.Zoenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-7475586100363414772011-11-09T09:21:34.863+00:002011-11-09T09:21:34.863+00:00Ah!

Glad that his artwork in books is still in such demand- but I always feel bad for artists when there is more of a demand for their work once they are gone! ~JessJess Haighthttp://www.jessicahaight.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-35020172193557394092011-11-07T19:58:58.770+00:002011-11-07T19:58:58.770+00:00Oh Barbara - you've chosen one of my favourite...Oh Barbara - you've chosen one of my favourite artists today. I just adore Kay Nielsen's art. It is just brilliant - innovative and decorative and so, so beautiful. You've taught me something new too - I never knew his work was included in Fantasia. Now it seems obvious but I never made the connection before.Sharon Souternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-69312034915962768282011-11-07T19:16:32.370+00:002011-11-07T19:16:32.370+00:00Hi Donna, Me too.
