Book description
A sweeping, entertaining, and gorgeously produced celebration of beloved American writer, artist, and illustrator Edward Gorey on his 100th birthday. Issued by the Edward Gorey Charitable Trust and produced in creative partnership with The Edward Gorey House. For more than seven decades Edward Gorey's work has delighted fans of all ages and inspired artists across multiple disciplines. His collection of self-authored books, which comprises more than 100 volumes including The Gashlycrumb Tinies and The Doubtful Guest, remains a profoundly radical and uncompromised body of work.Viewed either separately or in their entirety, these works represent one of the most unique voices in American arts and letters.E Is for Edward celebrates Edward Gorey in his capacity author, illustrator, humorist, playwright, printmaker, fabric artist, and stage designer and the vast array of material he created between 1953 and his death in 2000. Curated by Gregory Hischak, Director of The Edward Gorey House, the book is organized by major themes and topics that characterize Gorey's work including hapless children, mutant menageries, the murder mystery, the ballet, sartorial elegance, stylized decor, and the many recurring motifs and latent symbolism that underlie these subjects. In addition, Hischak offers a look into the pages of the dozens of rarely-viewed notebooks kept by Gorey throughout his lifetime, revealing yet another fascinating layer of his prodigious creative output. Illustrated with hundreds of original pieces of art and archival material, E Is for Edward is a must-have book for every fan and the most comprehensive, in-depth exploration of Gorey's art in more than a decade.
