Including an autobiography by the artist, essays by noted arts journalists Josef Woodard and Charles Donelan, over 100 plates and archival photographs, this book showcases art of rare beauty and raw expression.Recognized as an award winning illustrator of 57 children’s books, two of his own authoring, Shimin, 1902-1984, was also one of the most highly regarded artists creating posters for Hollywood films, including the original poster for Gone With the Wind and the 40 ft. canvas for Solomon and Sheba. Most notably he was acclaimed for his masterpiece, the mural Contemporary Justice and the Child, commissioned in 1936-1940, by the PWAP, Public Works Arts Project, for the Department of Justice Building, Washington, DC, where it stands today.

After 8 years, still a great blanket! Holds up to pets too!
Color: Grey, Size: King (108" x 90")
This is a lovely king-size blanket. It is lightweight comfort for chilly days. It can be used with other blankets for additional warmth as needed. I have two older Bedsure king-size blankets (teal and camel) that are 8 years old now and they have maintained their color. I used them for bedspreads for queen-size beds that cover well. They do have some slight wear but are still in good shape - holding up to cats and dogs. The latest purchase are two grey king-size blankets that I am using to cover an old, two-cushion style couch. I needed the extra width for tucking in the cushions and completely covering the arms, sides, and back of the couch. The new look and comfort is also holding up to the 10-year old dog who likes to nap on the couch occasionally. I have found that these blankets do well with spot cleaning as needed. Pet hair does not seem to cling to these blankets and as needed, I use a lint brush. When washing, I wash them on gentle cycle with regular detergent. I use a little vinegar in the rinse cycle. I hang them outside to dry and they dry quickly. On a rare occasion I use the dryer and when I do, there is very little lint from blanket. With the new grey blankets, I followed the gentle reminder noted on the plastic bag and - took the blanket directly from the bag (there was no smell) and put it in the dryer on low heat (about 15 to 20 minutes) and it came out full looking and fluffy soft (luxurious feeling actually). I really like these blankets and recommend them highly to friends and family. I hope this is helpful to you.

Very soft and cozy
Color: Grey, Size: Queen (90" X 90")
I bought this for the bed, but the second it arrived my husband claimed it. It is so incredibly soft and cozy, but lightweight enough that you don't overheat. The grey color looks great with our decor, and I love that it doesn't get static- like other fleece blankets. It also washed really well and didn't shed at all.

Like to snuggle up in soft warm blankets? This one's for you
Color: Grey, Size: King (108" x 90")
I purchased this after the one I had previously received as a gift was ruined. That's how much I love this blanket. It doesn't get that weird rougher texture after washing that some of these fleece blankets get. It's ridiculously soft and so warm and comforrtable. The sizing is totally accurate and I slept like a toasty warm baby using this product. It's a blanket so use is self explanatory. Put it on your bed or couch or wherever you want and snuggle in for warmth and comfort. It's a very high quality product for a very reasonable, even affordable price. If you like high quality products that everyone can afford then this is the blanket for you. This even improved the quality of my sleep. It does have some stretch, but it's not overly stretchy. Believe me, this blanket would be a welcome addition to your home.

Very good but not amazing
Color: Bright Gold, Size: Queen (90" X 90")
Not the most amazing blanket possible but pretty close.
The only negative I can think of is that it's a bit thinner than I expected, besides that it is quite comfortable, smooth, soft and visually appealing.

SO SOFT & cozy without being super heavy
Color: Grey, Size: California King (102" X 96")
I’m picky about blankets because some fleece ones either feel cheap or make you way too hot, but this one is actually really nice.
It’s really soft, washes well, and has that cozy feel without feeling overly thick or heavy. I got the California King size and it’s actually big enough to fully cover the bed without constantly fighting for blanket.
