An Exquisite Vision: The Art of Lisbeth Zwerger
June 29 - September 26, 2010 (Regular Museum Hours: Tues-Friday 10–4; Sat 10–5; Sun 12–5)
Lisbeth Zwerger is one of the foremost illustrators working today. In 1990, at the age of thirty-six, she received the Hans Christian Andersen medal—the equivalent of the Noble Prize for children’s literature. Her range of subject is remarkable, encompassing the Brothers Grimm, O. Henry, Oscar Wilde, Charles Dickens, and L. Frank Baum to name a few. Her artistic vision is informed by watercolors executed with a deftness and delicacy that nevertheless possess an assurance and substance.
