 Everybody knows that a circus clown’s job is to make people laugh. But what is an unemployed clown to do when he loses the ability to smile? In Bobo’s Smile, legendary American illustrator Seymour Chwast traces a clown’s quest to regain happiness. Bobo flies around the world, scales mountains, and plumbs the depths of the sea, but his search seems to have been in vain—until an unfortunate event prompts him to use his talents and find joy in life’s simple pleasures once again. 

 Born in 1931 in New York City, Seymour Chwast developed his talent for drawing from an early age. In the 1950s, he cofounded Push Pin Studios, and he remains the organization’s director today. Chwast’s style has always been marked by a rich eclecticism that has set his work apart from the mainstream, and in 1985, he was honored with a Gold Medal from the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA). His work is showcased in New York’s Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and other museums worldwide.
