Eric Carle: Re-Imaged and Re-Imagined

September 23, 2014 - March 22, 2015
West Gallery

Over the years, several of Eric Carle’s books have been republished, providing the artist an opportunity to re-imagine some of his earlier illustrations. The pairings on view in this exhibition highlights works that Carle chose to re-illustrate for new editions alongside previous ones. They reveal not only the rich stories of the books they come from, but also Carle’s evolving style and techniques.

This exhibition was made possible through the generous support of the Hsin-Yi Foundation.
