Fairy Tales and Fables: Illustration and Storytelling in Art
Published on August 7, 2024
Fairy Tales and Fables: Illustration and Storytelling in Art features more than 50 rarely seen artworks related to book illustration from the Cleveland Museum of Art’s holdings and local collections. Included are preparatory sketches, finished drawings and watercolors, printing blocks, limited edition prints, and published books created between 1750 and 1950. These objects show how artists from Jean-Baptiste Oudry to Aubrey Beardsley approached the challenges and opportunities of illustration, navigating the commercial needs of the publishing industry while developing their artistic voices.
The exhibition runs from May 4 – September 8, 2024 at the Cleveland Museum of Art, 11150 East Blvd, Cleveland OH, 44106.
