CategoryNew Brunswick New Jersey Art Events
DescriptionFrom the 1960s onward, technical improvement in image reproduction and growing social awareness combined to produce a growing number of children’s books that reflect the diversity of American people and ways of life. Selected illustrations from the Zimmerli Art Museum’s collection exemplify this trend. Roger Duvoisin’s painterly gouache illustrations for It’s Time Now, 1969, casually capture the feeling of street life in the city. John Thompson’s realistic black and white illustrations for The Liquid Trap, 1976, a short novel for young readers, provide a more literal portrait of a girl’s visit with her family in the south. Barbara Beirne, E. B. Lewis, and Stephen T. Johnson were inspired by young people from their neighborhoods, rather than professional models, to create vibrant and authentic images of young people engaged in sport activities. Illustrations by Catherine Stock depict subjects ranging from a small boy’s relationship with neighbors, Miss Viola and Uncle Ed Lee, 1999, to the unexpected pregnancy of a teen-aged girl in Doll Baby, 2000. Books related to the illustrations are on view in the gallery, along with hands-on activities for visitors. The exhibition is organized by Gail Aaron, Assistant Curator, Original Illustrations for Children’s Books, Morse Research Center for Graphic Arts.
