Opening later this week at the Eric Carle Museum in #AmherstMA:

"Free to Be. . . You and Me: 50 Years of Stories and Songs"

https://carlemuseum.org/explore-art/exhibitions/upcoming-exhibition/free-be-you-and-me-50-years-stories-and-songs

Aus dem Bilderbuch "Eric Carle's Großes Tierbilderbuch". (1/3)

Dieses Buch zeigt auf ca. 90 Seiten viele Collagen von Tierbildern im typischen Stil von #EricCarle der hauptsächlich durch sein Buch 'Die kleine Raupe Nimmersatt' bekannt wurde.

Eric wurde übrigens durch einen anderen bekannten Illustrator - #LeoLionni - zu seiner ersten Arbeitsstelle bei der New York Times verholfen.

And just as in boyhood, making pictures is how I express my feelings, my truest self."
- Eric Carle, "Artist to Artist"
