Reading "Where the Wild Things Are" to honour author Maurice Sendak, who passed away today. (Project 365)
Where the Wild Things Are
Maurice Sendak in His Own Words and Pictures, a multi media exhibit about the life-long art of Maurice Sendak on display at the Lancaster Museum of Art. It was cool!
Duane and I experienced the Lancaster Art Walk. We visited many different shops, ate at our favorite Lancaster bar (Lancaster Dispensing Company, we had Pesto and Brie and shared a veggie grinder and booze) and visited a scary artist studio. Good fun! The only thing is...it was like 84 degrees...IN APRIL. That is just wrong.
"Where the Wild Things Are" is a children's book written by American writer and illustrator Maurice Sendak. An exhibit at San Francisco's Contemporary Jewish Museum in 2009 featured a retrospective of over 100 works by Sendak and included several family days when Sendak-themed activities, performances, and art projects kept kids engaged and entertained. And, on one such day, this giant Sendak character was there to impress and thrill the little ones....and, perhaps, even a few of the grown-ups as well.
In case you were wondering where the wild things are...they are asleep.

An embroidery my mother did of Maurice Sendak's childrens story "Where The Wild Things Are". She wrote to him for permission to reproduce and he told her he had no problem with that. Must have been about 25 years ago.

On Wednesday, January 19, 2011, The Chertoff Mural moved to its permanent home at the Rosenbach Museum & Library. A team of eight art handlers and conservators transported the mural from the truck to the museum’s Maurice Sendak Gallery where the mural was installed and conservation work was completed. Mural conservator Cassie Myers and Judith Guston, the Rosenbach’s Curator and Director of Collections, oversaw the process.
