"CELEBRATE EDWARD GOREY'S CHILDREN'S BOOK” EXHIBIT"
April 17 though December 21, 2008 |
| |
Celebrate Edward Gorey's Children's Books with
a visit to our exhibition of original works by Edward Gorey for his
own children's books and illustrations he created for many other
authors. The Edward Gorey House is pleased to announce the 2008
opening on Thursday, April 17th and running though December 21, 2008.
Our exhibit shows many of Gorey's original pen and ink,
watercolor, and preliminary pencil illustrations for children's books
of his own creation, and for other noted children's authors including
Peter Neumeyer, Florence Parry Heide, Edward Lear, Hilaire Belloc, T.
S. Eliot, and others. Special books such as Gorey's only pop-up
book, The Dwindling Party (italicize) and the three-dimensional
accordian book The Tunnel Calamity (italicize) are highlighted. A
unique focus of the exhibit will be early drawings and illustrations
by Gorey from his childhood years.

This exhibition leads
visitors through Gorey's life, from his first pair of baby shoes
to his diaries as an adolescent, and finally to his worn out
sneakers and favorite yellow sweater. Original artwork, photographs,
and first editions help illustrate the vast array of works that
Gorey produced during his lifetime and provide a glimpse into
this extraordinary individual. |
