How We Live Now: Picturing Everyday Life in Children's Book Illustrations

from Cindy Hwang

35 original works on paper by Catherine Stock, Roger Duvoisin, E.B. Lewis, Barbara Beirne, Stephen T. Johnson and John Thompson. Works include delicate watercolors, black and white sketches, color photographs, and expressive pastel figure drawings mirroring the social themes and subjects of contemporary culture as depicted in children's books from 1960 to the present day. Books for viewing and for browsing will be on display in the exhibition, which has been drawn from the Zimmerli Museum’s collection of Original Illustrations for Children’s Literature, which includes over 4000 objects including original illustrations, preparatory materials, manuscripts and books by more than 100 American artists from the early 20th-century to present day.
