To show off the pieces in context I put together a little video tour. It even featured a recreation of Max’s room from Where the Wild Things Are. The presentation was great and immersive, too, with massive prints. Paying homage.Ī really wonderful and humbling experience to be surrounded by his work. After a minute I realized I was, in effect, kneeling before it and that felt more than appropriate.
The first piece I went to look at was positioned a little lower on the wall so I got down to see it close up. And not to mention creatively recharging. Favorites from the Nutshell Library, Little Bear, poster art, Wild Things, and many more. And I do mean tail end, the show moved on to its next museum the following day!īut! I was able to take my time with each and every one of the pieces. Just the other day I was able to catch the tail end of a fantastic exhibition of Maurice Sendak’s original works. Visitors of all ages will experience the fantastical imagination of Maurice Sendak as they explore over 50 pieces of original artwork and step into the pages of his beloved books. The result is this fabulous collector's edition panoramic print presenting Sendak's entire painting, as opposed to having to see it printed with the gutter of the book in the centre of the image.Ĭopyright 1963 printed on reverse.The Upcountry History Museum will serve as the only South Carolina stop on the Wild Things national exhibition tour.
This gorgeous print was published in 1971 as an edition specially re-photographed from the original artwork held at the Sendak Archives at the Rosenbach Museum & Library. The book has been adapted into an animated short, an Opera, and a motion picture, and the picture book itself is still in print over 50 years after it's initial publication. Written and illustrated in 1963 by Maurice Sendak, 'Where The Wild Things Are' is one of the most popular picture books ever published.
