Gág (1893-1946) was primarily a printmaker; paintings and gouaches are scarce among her works. She trained at the Art Students League, New York. Along with her haunting lithographs of scenes in and around New York from the 1920s and 1930s, she is most remembered for her innovative and modern children's books, consisting of stories she told her younger siblings when growing up and illustrated herself, including Millions of Cats, Gone is Gone and The ABC Bunny.
