Writer and illustrator Maurice Sendak was born in 1928. His books captivated the imaginations of young readers with their sometimes dark, fantastical stories. Many critics and censors marked his work as "inappropriate" or "too dark" for young children.

Love these rich, warm colours from Paul Gauguin, who was born in 1848. Under appreciated during his lifetime, the post-impressionist artist is now known as a great experimenter of colour and for his Synthetis style.

The Cherub Harvesters by François Boucher, who died in 1770. I find them just a little bit terrifying, to be honest. If I saw them, I wouldn’t hang around.
