Alice Rose Provensen (née Twitchell; August 14, 1918 – April 23, 2018) and Martin Provensen (July 10, 1916 – March 27, 1987) were an American couple who illustrated more than 40 children's books together, 19 of which they also wrote and edited. According to Alice, "we were a true collaboration. Martin and I really were one artist."
Both of the Provensens were born in Chicago, moved to California when they were twelve, attended the Art Institute in Chicago and returned to California to work in the movies, Alice for Walter Lanz Studios and Martin for Walt Disney. Oddly, they didn’t meet until Martin was assigned to the Walter Lanz Studios for a war-effort film.
