ART + COMICS

Here is a subject near and dear to my heart: Little Golden Books. I spent many hours (weeks, months...) lost in their gorgeously illustrated pages as a kid, and I'd probably do the same if I were handed a stack of them today.

And in honor of sixty-five (!?!?) years of these adored little storybooks, The Children's Museum of Manhattan is having an exhibit entitled “Golden Legacy: Original Art from 65 Years of Golden Book”. Running through August 28, it includes artwork from a whole palette of well-known illustrators, including one of my all-time favorites, Mary Blair.

Damn you, New York. Why are you so far away?
