The first museum survey of illustrator, author and designer Maira Kalman’s narrative art is on display at the Jewish Museum in New York through July 31.
Kalman’s signature style, which combines pops of color, eccentric portraiture and exuberant lines, is recognizable from her contributions to The New Yorker; her books including “What Pete Ate”, her illustrated version of “The Elements of Style” and “And the Pursuit of Happiness”: and several textile collaborations. “Kalman illuminates contemporary life with a profound sense of joy and a unique sense of humor,” says the museum’s web site. “This exhibition features a selection of original works on paper that span 30 years of illustration for publication.”
