| Alice and Cat by Leonard Weisgard |
The
Arne Nixon Center at California State University, Fresno, will offer two
coordinating exhibitions in the Henry Madden Library from September 16 - October
26, 2011.
The second-floor Leon S. Peters Ellipse Gallery will display Lewis
Carroll materials from the Arne Nixon Center’s extensive collection, including
original art by Leonard Weisgard for his 1949 edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.
Materials on loan will include original Alice-themed art by Charles M. Schulz
for his “Peanuts” comic strip (loaned by the Charles M. Schulz Museum),
anamorphic Alice bronze sculptures loaned by artist Karen Mortillaro, and
original art loaned by author/illustrator Byron Sewell.
The third-floor Pete P. Peters Ellipse
Balcony will showcase additional illustrations from picture books by Leonard
Weisgard, on loan from his family. Leonard Weisgard won the 1947 Caldecott
medal for illustration for his pictures for Golden MacDonald’s book The Little Island.
The exhibitions, which are suitable for all
ages, will be open:
- Monday to Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
- Saturday from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.
