ARTIST PANEL DISCUSSION
Artists as Authors: Award-Winning Illustrators Speak
Saturday, February 16
5 p.m.

Join celebrated illustrators David Macaulay, and Wendell Minor for a look at their experiences as artists who also author their own books. The intensive research and study that is required to build imaginary worlds inspired by reality will be explored.

David Macaulay is a British-born American illustrator and writer whose most famous works include Cathedral, The Way Things Work, and the Caldecott-winner, Black and White. His illustrations have been featured in popular, nonfiction books combining text and illustrations to explain architecture, design and engineering. His recently completed book, Crossing on Time: Steam Engines, Fast Ships, and a Journey to the New World, will be the subject of a fall 2019 Museum exhibition.

Illustrator and author Wendell Minor has created striking visual narratives and elegant designs for more than two thousand book covers and more than fifty children’s books, including Reaching for the Moon: Buzz Aldrin, Edward Hopper Paints his World, and the soon to be released Hi, I’m Norman, about the life and art of Norman Rockwell.

A reception and book signing will follow. Free for Museum members, or included with Museum admission. Free for children 18 and under.

Land Acknowledgement

It is with gratitude and humility that we acknowledge that we are learning, speaking and gathering on the ancestral homelands of the Mohican people, who are the indigenous peoples of this land on which the Norman Rockwell Museum was built. Despite tremendous hardship in being forced from here, today their community resides in Wisconsin and is known as the Stockbridge-Munsee Community. We pay honor and respect to their ancestors past and present as we commit to building a more inclusive and equitable space for all.
