Beginning February 18, 2018, Woodmere Art Museum in Philadelphia, Pa. will host the exhibition Charles Santore: Fifty Years of Art and Storytelling. This is the first retrospective look of the work of Charles Santore (born 1935) that traces the development of the illustrator from his commercial work of the 1960s to his most recent children’s book, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (2017). Included in the exhibition will be illustrations for The Wizard of Oz, Paul Revere’s Ride, A Stowaway on Noah’s Ark, Snow White, and other books, together with theatre posters, album covers, and celebrity portraits made for TV Guide in the 1970s and 1980s. Additionally, included preliminary sketches, color studies, and dummy books show how Santore brings characters to life and makes them his own. An accompanying digital catalogue includes a conversation with the artist.
