Gallery Exhibit: Imagine This: Children’s Book Illustrations
Imagine This: Children’s Book Illustrations will run from Nov. 4–Dec. 18, 2022, at the Suzanne H. Arnold Art Gallery of Lebanon Valley College.
Drawn from the Ruth E. Engle Memorial Collection of Murray Library, Messiah University, these children’s book illustrations celebrate the art we first encountered as a pairing of story and image. The collection honors Ruth Engle’s “abiding love for children, books, and libraries.” Supplemented with works from the Lebanon Valley College Fine Art Collection, the exhibition introduces stories from across the globe and opens up a broad vista of cultures and places, both real and imagined. Illustrations of classic fairytales like Pinocchio and Peter Pan appear alongside the retelling of folktales from Japan (Tale of the Mandarin Ducks) and Cameroon (Sense Pass King). From an Arctic spring to a Christmas in Wales, one can traverse the history of the Silk Route or journey with Joan of Arc.
The opening reception for Imagine This: Children’s Book Illustrations will take place on Friday, Nov. 4, 5–7 p.m. in Zimmerman Recital Hall of the Suzanne H. Arnold Art Gallery. All events are free and open to the public.
