The Lion, the Artist and the Studio
http://www.nytimes.com/pages/arts/design/index.html
While scrolling through the articles, i seemed to have stumbled to this interesting title which compelled me to clicked. It simply caused me to stop and wonder just what is was about so i clicked with high curiosity. Reading through, the article was talking about this famous 72 year old watercolor artist, Jerry Pinkney, which is well known for his children book illustrations including "The Lion and the Mouse". Well as the article continues, it goes on talking about the studio Americo and Gabriel D’Adonna made for him, which has encourage more of Mr. Pinkney's art from his 75 acres of wilderness surrounding his house as well as artwork not seen by many that he might enjoy more. Other than being such a recognized artist and winning many of esteemed awards, it posts that he will be showing most of his prestige work including some many people have not thought of him to have done that strays of the theme of wildlife and animals, but humans. The article also mentions a brief history of how he was recognized as an artist by John Liney and, even though he had dyslexia, grew to become the astounding illustrator with his mother as encouraging like 'the wind to his back'. I became very fascinated in reading more of his life but more interested now in his exhibition that will be showing at the Hudson River Museum.
Everyone will be able to see “Witness: The Art of Jerry Pinkney” which will be on view at the Hudson River Museum in Yonker Sept. 29 through Jan. 13.
