YSub style illustration Q

[Fatpidgeon]

Here's an obscure one. I have a children's book called "The Cat and the
Fiddler". It's from 1968 and is illustrated by one Lionel Kalish. The style
of the figure drawings is quite similar to that of Yellow Submarine. Anybody
know of Lionel Kalish and if he had anything to do with Yellow Submarine?
Thanks,

Some more info on him for those who care to know:
Lionel Kalish

Italy: The Timeless Landscape, an exhibition of paintings
and drawings by Lionel Kalish, will open Thursday,
December 5 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Gremillion & Co.
Fine Art, Inc., 2501 Sunset Blvd., Houston.

Mr. Kalish was born in 1931 in New York City and
graduated from Cooper Union in 1951. Since 1975, he
has shown his work at foremost galleries in Germany and
New York and has pieces in numerous private collections.
He has lived in Venice and Rome and travels to Italy every
year where he has studied the painting techniques of the
Italian and Flemish masters and continually gathers
inspiration from the architecture and landscapes for his
paintings. He particularly feels a strong connection to the
eighteenth century Venetian masters, such as, Canaletto,
Francesco Guardi and Bernardo Bellotti.

Since the complex painting techniques of these masters
(many layers of under-painting, over-painting and glazing)
are not really taught anywhere, Kalish is essentially a
self-taught painter, taking many years to perfect his craft.
He often uses a three-haired paint brush and magnifying
glass to get his rich detail.

Italy: The Timeless Landscape, Kalish's first solo
exhibition at Gremillion & Co. in December 1996, focused
primarily on the architecture and landscape of Italy as its
subject matter. Though inexorably linked to the past,
Kalish diverges from the style of his Italian predecessors in
the atmosphere and mood he creates with his careful use
of chiaroscuro for modulating light and dark and refining
cast shadows. The result is a feeling of stillness and
solitude, and this coupled with the random appearances of
evidence of modern day living, gives his old world Italian
villas and landscapes a surreal sense of underlying mystery.

Makes me think of "Fiddler on the Roof" and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," but I
don't have any info :)
