Description
Summary:An anthology of comics inspired by visits to the museum, featuring Roz Chast, Liana Finck, Walter Scott and more -- and a foldout poster by Chris Ware. Have you ever left a museum feeling inspired or delighted? Has an artwork ever made you laugh? Cry? Think differently about the world? For the contributors to Drawn to MoMA, art has done all this and more. Since 2019, The Museum of Modern Art has commissioned cartoonists and illustrators to craft stories about their experiences inside and outside the museum. Gathered here are twenty-five selections from the series by such graphic artists as Gabrielle Bell, Roz Chast, Walter Scott, Tommi Parrish, Mari Kanstad Johnsen, and Chris Ware--whose work is presented as a foldout poster. Each in their own style, they recount visits to MoMA, explore favorite artworks and artists, and meditate on love, friendship, and the struggles and rewards of life as a creator.
