On view are delicate watercolors executed with languid washes and quick dabs of color, black and white sketches, color photographs, and expressive pastel figure drawings as well as a variety of styles and methods mirroring the social themes and subjects of contemporary culture. Books for viewing and for browsing will be on display in the exhibition, which has been drawn from the museum’s collection of Original Illustrations for Children’s Literature, which includes over 4000 objects including original illustrations, preparatory materials, manuscripts and book
