"He makes it all look so easy and
yet his work is so full of joie de vivre"
Raymond Briggs
"Blake is beyond brilliant. He's
anarchic, moral, infinately subversive, sometimes vicious, socially
acute, sparse when he has to be, exuberentaly lavish in detail when
he feels like it. He can tell wonderful stories without a single
word but his partnership with Roald Dahl was made in heaven. Or
somewhere. The diabolical ingenuity of Dahl came into it's own only
when he wrote for children. In conjunction with Blake, there was a
kind of alchemy. I've never met a child who didn't love Quentin
Blake."
Melanie McDonagh, Daily
Telegraph
"His work effortlessly crosses all
barriers of age, gender and sophistication, swinging high in the
realms of flamboyant humour and absurdity, and splashing
seductively in reflective pools of petry and romance."
Joanna Carey, The Guardian
"His style is so alive that you feel
every line is electric."
Emma Chichester Clark
"He possesses some of the same
qualities as Edward Ardizzone. His drawings are even more free with
enormous vitality and movement."
Helen Oxenbury
"The King of us all is Quentin Blake
for his use of colour and the sheer exuberance of his drawing."
Jill Murphy
"Blake is no less the creative
artist in those books that he shares with the author. Even when the
writer has a name as formidable as Roald Dahl, Blake, far from
being overawed, can lift the book into an altogether higher plane
by interpretation that uncovers hidden subtleties in the
story."
Twentieth Century Children's
Writers
"For all the apparent simplicity of
his images and storytelling, there's a hugely complex mind at
work behind it all, sifting through a universe of ideas until it
all comes out just right."
