The name Mitgutsch in children's book art stands for the well-known illustrator and author Ali Mitgutsch. But also for Mitgutsch - the art family. We are a dedicated circle of family and friends, who are just as inspired by life as the trained graphic designer and pioneer of "Wimmelbooks" (highly detailed picture books).

Ali's children, Katrin, Florian, and Oliver Mitgutsch, are leading the way. Also creatively active and literally raised in their father's imaginative world (of thought), they accompanied him through all his creative periods and thus have a very special access to his complete works. Formerly: as the first recipients of his work. Today: as important representatives of his art.

By integrating Ali Mitgutsch into our art family, we place his work in a contemporary artistic context – to keep it in memory and make it accessible to an even larger audience.

Why is this platform named as it is? Our understanding of family is not limited to blood relations. For us, it's about spiritual kinship. About shared values, interests, and projects. What connects us is art and creativity. And the desire to create more space for both. In an inspiring environment. Through constructive exchange. And with our individual talents. Not each for themselves, but as a family. As an art family.
