Dudunya, the Art and Many Hats of Vladimir Radunsky
Dudunya, the Art and Many Hats of Vladimir Radunsky is a tribute to an extraordinary artist and author.
Vladimir was born in the Soviet Union, studied architecture, dropped out of college, then emigrated to the United States, where he found his true calling – children’s books. He created, illustrated and designed more than thirty books in the United States and Europe that received numerous awards including the New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year.
The last 17 years of his life he lived in Rome, Italy, where he created the costumes and stage design for Marius Petipa’s ballet “Don Quixote” (Mikhail Baryshnikov’s adaptation), staged and performed in the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma.
