The exhibit "Edward Koren: The Capricious Line" is from Friday through April 8.
The museum describes it as "a major survey of the work of the artist best known for his cartoons and cover illustrations for The New Yorker magazine.This exhibition explores the full range of art Koren has produced the past five decades -- original drawings for cartoons and illustrated books, as well as prints and independent drawings, many of which have never before been displayed.
"The artist’s 'capricious line' consists primarily of short strokes that create remarkably descriptive and expressive images," a museum press release stated. "A primary focus of the exhibition is, inevitably, Koren’s drawings for cartoons, which highlight his role as observer of contemporary society and as a gently acerbic critic of a cultural scene that seems to demand his graphic commentary."
The events are free. Click here to RSVP. The talk is from 5-6 p.m., followed by the exhibition's opening reception from 6-7 p.m.
The museum is in the lower level of Bellarmine Hall on the campus of Fairfield University, 1073 North Benson Road, Fairfield.
