With
the 1974 edition of Colin Thiele’s Storm
Boy Robert
Ingpen gave notice that he was to become a children’s
book illustrator of great distinction. His work
on this much-loved classic led to a long collaboration
with Thiele and his first award – The Visual
Arts Board Prize.
With his distinctive illustrative
style, he also became the first Australian to
win the Hans Christian Andersen Medal for illustration
in 1986. No other Australian has achieved this
honour.
Robert Ingpen
began his artistic career as an agricultural
illustrator with the CSIRO. A passion for conservation
ensued and he spent time working with the United
Nations in Mexico and Peru in the 1970s designing
pamphlets to convey environmental concepts for
fisherman in those countries.
Other achievements
include the design of a series of stamps for
Australia Post and the Northern Territory flag.
A
prolific author as well as illustrator, Robert
Ingpen has published more than 100 fiction and
non-fiction titles for children and adults.
On 26
January 2007 Robert Ingpen was made a Member
of the Order of Australia with the citation:
' For
service to literature as an illustrator and author
of children's books, to art design and education,
and as a supporter of health care organisations.'
