Warrants a Discussion: David Wiesner Discusses His Carle Museum Exhibit
He has an exhibition at the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art July 17th through early December. He’s written wonderful articles on the art of storytelling with pictures only, covering the history of wordless picture books, discussing early graphic novels and how these formats became so popular. And best of all, he’s an award winner in his own right.
Recently I had a chance to join multi-Caldecott Award winner David Wiesner in conversation about the state of picture books past, present, and future. Along the way he gives me a rundown on the history of wordless picture books (worth an academic course right there) and the aforementioned exhibit he curated with the Carle called Speechless: The Art of Wordless Picture Books.
