Special Exhibition: Ed Young's Bright Worlds: Gesture and Feeling in 60 Years of Picture Books for Children.
- ✓ Running May 14 - September 13
- ✓ For over 60 years, Ed Young (1931–2023) was a towering figure in children's literature, celebrated for his inventive artistry and his ability to challenge audiences with pictorial and moral complexity across more than 100 books. This first U.S. retrospective traces Young's journey from his upbringing in Shanghai and Hong Kong to his storied career in America, which began in 1962 and eventually earned him the Caldecott Medal for his iconic Chinese folklore retelling, Lon Po Po. By showcasing original artwork from 15 of his most significant projects alongside personal photos and sketchbooks, the exhibition highlights how Young's immigrant experience and personal history infused his storytelling with a potency that garnered him the field's highest honors.
