SUMMARY:The Art Of Allen Say: A Sense of Place
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Event Name: The Art Of Allen Say: A Sense of Place=0D=0AEvent Url: http://www.artsboston.org/event/detail/50621=0D=0AEvent Date Begin: 2009-09-16=0D=0AEvent Date End: 2009-10-28=0D=0A=0D=0AOrganized in 2007 by The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, in honor of Say's 70th birthday, this exhibit explores both the technical mastery and thematic complexity of this prolific artist and author. Trained as a commercial photographer, Say found his place writing and illustrating children's books somewhat by chance in the 1970s. Author of more than 20 works since then, including Grandfather's Journey (1993), which won the Caldecott Medal in 1994, Say has spent much of his career exploring the rich divide between his Japanese youth and his American coming of age. Say's works speak directly to children, skillfully conveying sentiments of alienation and dislocation. Comprised mostly of Say's illustrations for books, the exhibit also includes examples of his commercial photography and oil paintings, underscoring the full measure of Say's creative talent and his unifying aesthetic.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:Gallery Hours: Monday 1-5pm, Tuesday- Saturday 9am-5pm
