Publisher's Synopsis
A Renaissance man of boundless imagination, Edward St. John Gorey (American, 1925-2000) created more than one hundred works, designed sets and costumes for theatrical productions, and had a profound affection for ballet, literature, film, and animals. Bats, cats, and men in fur coats make frequent appearances in his artwork, as do exotic and quirky creatures. Gorey brought to life enigmatic, humorous tales from the laboratory of his mind, leaving his unique stamp on American art and culture. His drawings and stories have a special genius that resides in the effect of what is left unseen and unwritten.
