There's A Mystery There: Sendak on Sendak
Saturday January 16, 2010 from 1:00pm - 8:00pm
Contemporary Jewish Museum
736 Mission St
San Francisco, California 94103 Get Directions
Maurice Sendak has written or illustrated more than 100 picture books over his 60-year career. A number of those books, including 'Where the Wild Things Are,' 'In the Night Kitchen' and 'Chicken Soup with Rice,' inspired generations of children and changed the landscape of picture books. Included in the exhibition are original watercolors, preliminary sketches, drawings and dummy books from more than 40 of Sendak's books, all from the Rosenbach Museum and Library in Philadelphia, the repository for Sendak's artwork and working materials. This major retrospective sheds light on the many mysteries of his life and art by exploring the intensely personal undercurrents in his work; and it does so using Sendak's own words, insights and remarkable stories.
