Drawn to Moma: Comics Inspired by Modern Art, Gebunden

Klappentext

A vibrant anthology of comics inspired by visits to the museum, featuring illustrated stories by Roz Chast, Liana Finck, Walter Scott and more

This anthology presents a selection of comics and illustrated stories by 25 acclaimed graphic artists about museum-going and the ways art infiltrates and shapes our lives. The stories were first published on MoMA Magazine as part of a groundbreaking online series featuring some of the most influential illustrators and comics creators of our time, including Roz Chast, Walter Scott and Mari Kanstad Johnsen. Gathered here, the selections offer a dazzling array of artistic styles and storytelling approaches, ranging from intimate sketches and fluid paintings to bold woodcuts and psychedelic cartoons. As the first comic anthology to be published by a major museum, the book encourages readers to reconsider comics and graphic storytelling as a form of fine art. While many of the stories document visits to museums, others explore contemporary issues including war, environmentalism and gender and racial equality, as well as topics related to everyday life such as motherhood, love, humor and the ongoing search for meaning and inspiration.
