The World of Edward Gorey! ⚽️

Location: Yonge and College /downtown Toronto Cash only; prices are firm. "To look at an Edward Gorey drawing is to cross into a turn-of-the-century twilight zone, a faded black-and-gray realm where bats--or possibly umbrellas--swoop above the shrubbery, buildings appear as attractive and sturdily built as the House of Usher, and everything feels autumnal, crepuscular, rainswept and more than a little menacing..." "The World of Edward Gorey introduces readers to Gorey himself by way of an interview with artist Clifford Ross. Here we learn about Gorey's unusually agile mind, his immense and diverse interests, and his deep knowledge of art. From there, art critic Karen Wilkin takes us on a voyage through Gorey's world, analyzing the evolution and sources of the artist's style and situating it within a tradition of narrative art, of high and popular culture. Both important and lesser known works are discussed, amplified by 200 illustrations made by Gorey...' - The World of Edward Gorey - Clifford Ross / Karen Wilkin Check out my other book posts as well!
