Waldman's paintings and prints are included in many
prestigious collections around the world. His oils, acrylics
and watercolors may be seen in the capital buildings of more
than a dozen nations, and in numerous major
corporations. .....His
works have garnered many awards and honours. Notable among
these is a gold medal from the United Nations in a closed
international competition in which Waldman was chosen to
represent the United States. The world body selected his
entry as the official poster for the International Year of
Peace. Today it hangs in the halls of the U. N. General
Assembly. .....Waldman
was commissioned by the American Brands Corporation to paint
the portraits of twenty famous Americans for their
centennial exhibition "The American Achievers". This
collection travelled to museums, galleries and exhibit halls
around the country, and was eventually published in a book
of the same name. Waldman has designed postage stamps for
thirteen nations, written and illustrated more than fifty
books for young people, and won the Christopher Award, the
National Jewish Book Award, the Parents Choice Award, the
American Library Association Notable Award, and a host of
others. In addition, he has illustrated the covers of seven
Newbery Award winners.
