ART EXHIBITION
Musings of Mystery and Alphabets of Agony: The Work of Edward Gorey
The University of Hawaii Art Gallery in collaboration with the University of Hawaii Library presents work by celebrated, prolific American author and artist Edward Gorey (1925-2000), revered for his distinctly elegant, enigmatic, and eerie black and white illustrations. This exhibition features over 700 books, book jackets, prints, posters, drawings, postcards, handmade dolls, and other ephemera from the John A. Carollo - Edward Gorey Collection in the University of Hawaii at Manoa Library's Special Research Collections, with special loans courtesy of The Edward Gorey Charitable Trust, New York City and the Edward Gorey House, Yarmouthport, Massachusetts.
