Another Place, Another Time: Chris VanAllsburg Drawings
October 6, 2007 - January 20, 2007
Another Place Another Time: Chris Van Allsburg Drawings is an exhibition of seventy-seven drawings spanning Van Allsburg’s extraordinary career as an author and illustrator. Executed in pen and ink, charcoal, carbon pencil, colored pencil, conté pencil, oil pastel, and watercolor, the drawings represent over twenty-five years of work on more than twenty books for young people that evoke mystery, wonder, and delight. The precision and delicacy of the drawings as well as their variety of perspective draw the viewer into Van Allsburg’s world of flying beds, magic gardens, board games that come to life, and midnight trains to the North Pole.
