LIFE OF THE GENUINE ARTIST: "DO EXACTLY AS YOU WISH" SENDAK, MAURICE. Autograph Letter Signed, to Jeffrey Dinardo, explaining that his reply was delayed due to work on an opera [set design for the Washington Opera's 1981 production of Magic Flute], and giving some advice concerning his career as an illustrator. 1 page, 7x6 inches, dark green paper, personal stationery; remnants of prior mounting at corners verso, horizontal fold. Np, 8 March 1982
". . . [T]he reason for the long delay answering your two letters is the opera I'm designing in England. I've been shuttling back and forth for the last six months & will leave again, for a month, at the end of April. . . . "You sound very devoted to becoming an illustrator--Good! Be devoted. It is difficult but the best of all lives--give all up for it. I think you know what it means to do exactly as you wish. That is the life of the genuine artist."
