A Sense of Place: Children's Book Illustrations by Catherine Stock

Roger Duvoisin Gallery
Sep 01, 2007 - Jan 28, 2008

Art selected from two books illustrated by Catherine Stock, Galimoto and A Very Important Day, demonstrate how an artist attunes her approach to very different subject matter and locations.

Stock’s translucent, lyrical watercolors for Galimoto describe a day in the life of a Malawian boy who decides to make his own wire toy. A handmade toy similar to one illustrated in the book is on view in the gallery.

Crisp, jewel-toned watercolors for A Very Important Day follow diverse people on the day they or a family member becomes an American citizen. Stock’s illustrations celebrate the book’s Manhattan setting.
