William Andrew (Willy) Pogany was gifted with myriad styles from which he selected the appropriate (or created a new) one for each book he illustrated.
Each of these is designed and executed completely by Pogany, from the covers and endpapers to the hand-calligraphed text to the pen and ink, pencil, wash, color and tipped-in color plates.
Pogany used both to good advantage, setting soft color pencil drawings against the grays in Lohengrin (see samples reproduced in the second issue of my new magazine, The Vadeboncoeur Collection of ImageS) and using the paper color as an added dimension in Tannhauser.

Poverty, lack of education, as well as widespread anti-Roma discrimination and inadequate legal protection, have left the Roma facing intense hardship since the collapse of welfare states.
