Clement Hurd
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clement G. Hurd (January 12, 1908-February 5, 1988) was an American illustrator of children's books. He is best known for his collaborations with author Margaret Wise Brown, including Goodnight Moon (1947) and The Runaway Bunny (1942). He also illustrated a number of books written by his wife Edith Hurd as well as the only children's book written by Gertrude Stein, The World Is Round (1938).
Hurd studied architecture at Yale University and painting with Fernand Leger in Paris. His son Thacher Hurd is also a children's book author and illustrator.
A doctored/altered photo of Hurd was included in the recent republication [1] of Goodnight Moon, causing controversy over publication standards.
