Maira Kalman: Various Illuminations (of a Crazy World) On view through October 26, 2010
This exhibition is the first major museum survey of the work of award-winning illustrator, author and designer Maira Kalman. Well-known for her covers and drawings for The New Yorker, Kalman has written and illustrated over a dozen books for children and adults, authored two celebrated illustrated blogs for The New York Times. Kalman’s art appears everywhere in the foreground of today’s visual culture illuminating contemporary life with joy and humor, intelligence and insights, curlicues and question marks.
Participation in Museum Day is open to any tax-exempt or governmental museum or cultural venue on a voluntary basis. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for and does not endorse the content of the participating museums and cultural venues, and does not subsidize museums that participate.
