Last paragraph:
Starting in the mid-1970s, Mr. Fuchs had contracts to illustrate
postage stamps and children's books. His paintings, whose subjects
ranged from images of the Old West to the Longchamps horse races in
France, were exhibited in galleries worldwide. Jill Bossert, editor of
Society of Illustrators books, once described Mr. Fuchs's skill: "His
colors shine with the brilliance of stained glass as if lit from
within. His equine pictures rival Degas."

Excerpt:
Horn Book critic Lois F. Anderson, reviewing Alan Schroeder's 1989
picture book Ragtime Tumpie, noted that the story about legendary
entertainer Josephine Baker is illustrated by Fuchs in "luminous oil
paintings" containing "vivid browns, golds, and blues." New York Times
Book Review critic Liz Rosenberg pointed out the "bright burnt gold"
of the market, the "deep orange washes and amber highlights" of the
cafés, and the "bright flicker in a pink dress and yellow hat" that
denotes the heroine amid a "dreamscape of coal cars, coal smoke and
shadowy men." She concluded: "the prose and artwork are in cahoots
here."
