The Telluride Gallery of Fine Art in Colorado is presenting an exhibition titled From Beasts to Babar: Ten Illustrators of Children’s Books that features work by Bernie Fuchs, Maurice Sendak, Etienne Delessert, Gennady Spirin, Henrik Drescher and others.
Unfortunately, the images on the gallery’s site are small, but even for those who can’t get to the show, the selection if interesting — and you can follow up with individual searches.
From Beasts to Babar is on display until August 28, 2011.

What an incredible line-up. Wish I could make it.
Looks like it will be a fun exhibition. I too wish I could see it. Haven’t seen a Bernie Fuchs for some time. In fact I did not know he did any children’s book illustration. Always loved his work along with Bob Peak and Robert Heindel.
There is a gallery here in Los Angeles, “Every Picture Tells a Story” that is all childrens book illustration, original art, book readings and signings etc, some big names, haven’t been there in a long time. Must make new To Do (again) list.
