Istvan Banyai has created illustrations for The New Yorker, New York magazine, and The Atlantic, among others.
Banyai was born in Budapest in 1949. He was invited to work in France in 1980 for the 1976 film Gobble Gobble, and never returned to Hungary with his wife and son. His children’s book Zoom, published in 1995, was a great success, and in the same year he had a solo retrospective exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Massachusetts. The graphic artist died on 15 December last year, but the announcement has just been made.
