Illustration and the Written Word

Explore what's on view in Drawing Connections: Illustration and the Written Word. At 5:30 p.m., curators Curtis Small and Amanda Zehnder will lead tours of the exhibition.

From the earliest days of printed-book illustration, artists and authors have worked to connect the written with the visual. In this exhibition, discover books, paintings, drawings and prints that showcase how illustration and text can work together to create powerful visual impact and meaning. Materials on view range from religious stories to botanical literature to children’s literature.

The gallery will remain open until 7 p.m.
