Henry Morin, born on January 21, 1873 in Strasbourg, died on January 4, 1961 in Versailles, was a french children's book illustrator.
Life
[edit]After completing his art studies at the École des Beaux-Arts[1] in Paris, Henry Morin became an illustrator for the magazine Mon Journal in 1897. He remained one of the magazine's principal illustrators until 1925. He also illustrated children's books.[2]
Among other works, he illustrated Jacob Grimm's Fairy Tales around 1936 and an edition of La Fontaine's fables around 1925. Around 1930, the Contes de fées by Baronne d'Aulnoy, illustrated by Morin, were printed.[3]
La Semaine de Suzette published André Lichtenberger's children's book series Nane et ses Bêtes, illustrated by Morin. Among them was, for example, the volume Les vacances de Nane from 1924.
From 1925 onwards, Henry Morin created primarily religious art. Among other things, he designed stained-glass windows for the cathedral of Le Mans, southwest of Paris.[4]
Edgar P. Jacobs' art is influenced by Morin.[2]
