Abner Graboff
Mr. Angelo by Marjory Schwalje – Illustrations by Abner Graboff c1960
Ward Jenkins has an excellent interview with Jon Graboff over at the Ward-O-Matic. Jon is the son of the uber talented Abner Graboff, an American artist who illustrated a slew of amazing children’s books during the 1950s and 60s. In one part of the interview Jon mentions that his brother informed him that their dad had designed the CBS “eye” logo but didn’t receive credit for it. The credit went instead to the chief art director at the network. That art director would be William Golden. Is it possible that Abner Graboff designed the CBS eye logo?
The Abelard Folk Song Book, 1958.
