Lois Lenski: Exploring the Everyday Lives of Children, Sep 24, 2009 to Nov 29, 2009
Lois Lenski
Category: New Brunswick Art event in New Jersey
Description of this New Brunswick Event: Thirty-six illustrations selected from the Zimmerli Art Museum’s holdings of over 60 children’s book illustrations by Lois Lenski (1893-1974) reveal ways in which the Newbery Award–winning author/illustrator’s deep interest in the daily lives and activities of children is reflected in visual components of her books.
Lenski’s groundbreaking picture book, The Little Auto (1934), features clear hand-lettered text and engaging black and red illustrations that resonate with the imaginative play of a child with a toy car. Reflecting her ideas about the preferences of young children, crisp ink drawings with touches of color predominate in works such as Now It’s Fall (1948), and figures and action are contained within the frame of the page.
Concurrently with creating picture books, Lenski researched, wrote, and illustrated fiction for older children. Beginning in the early 1940s, Lenski determined to investigate and describe in fiction the lives of children from various regions of the United States currently under-represented in juvenile literature. Books such as Judy’s Journey (1947), a novel about a girl whose family earns a living as migrant workers, provided children of the World War II and post-war era with a perspective on lives much different from their own. Small, information-packed illustrations in graphite or ink amplify, but don’t compete with the texts.
Books for viewing and for browsing will be on display in the gallery, along with activities for visitors. Illustrations on view in the gallery, some being shown for the first time, are the gift of the artist’s son, Steven Covey. The exhibition is organized by Gail Aaron, Assistant Curator, Original Illustrations for Children’s Books, Morse Research Center for Graphic Arts.

The Moscow State Radio Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1978 as an outgrowth of the need for the symphonic repertoire of the 18th, 19th and 20th, centuries to be broadcast throughout Russia for the benefit of its citizens. It was decided that the Orchestra should broadcast performances on a weekly basis.
Presently the Orchestra follows the European music tradition and does not have a permanent Chief Conductor. Music Director Anatoli Nemudrov invites maestros from Russia and abroad in order to facilitate the continuing development and mastery of the musicians.
Tickets: $32-67
