ArtScapades – Bookscapes: From Cover to Canvas

Join Wilton Library for a look at a wide range of artists who found innovative and provocative ways to put books, people reading books, and scenes from books into their works. For centuries, books and reading have served as visual motifs in every artistic genre, from portraits of courtly elites to still lifes, illustrating the incredible power of putting books into art. Included are artworks by Michelangelo, François Boucher, Winslow Homer, Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Norman Rockwell, Pablo Picasso, Jacob Lawrence, Edward Hopper, and many more!

Robin Hoffman and Jodi Stiffelman, of ArtScapades, began teaching art appreciation in 1998. They have presented at libraries, art centers, and museums in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Florida.
