Scholz’s Künstler-Bilderbücher 40. – Seebaß II, 631. Stuck Villa II, 336. Doderer Supplementary Volume, p. 526. – First edition. - Uzarski (1885–1970) attended, amongst other institutions, the Düsseldorf School of Applied Arts and was a co-founder of the cultural association ‘Das junge Rheinland’. Due to his scathing attacks on conservative views of art and his reactionary politics, his satirical books were banned by the National Socialists after 1933. - "U.'s Stil ist auch in den 20er Jahren nicht einheitlich. Dies geht aus dem Bilderbuch 'Bunt durcheinander' (1928) hervor, in dem deutliche Annäherungen an den Kubismus und an die Figurenauffassungen Oskar Schlemmers feststellbar sind. U. zählt zu den 'wenigen überzeugenden Beispielen expressionistischer Kunst in der Kinderliteratur' (H.A. Halbey) und wird in eine Reihe mit Aline Stickel, Felix Meseck, Heinrich Hussmann und Hans Leip gestellt" (Doderer).
